US Postal Service Shredding Christmas Mail
High Volume of Seasonal Mail Simply 'Too Much'

The United States Postal Service admitted it has been shredding millions of Christmas cards and letters to help cope with a glut of seasonal mail it simply can't handle.
"Try sending an e-card, would you?" pleaded a haggard-looking Lawrence Brantz, Deputy Postmaster General, at a hastily-called and tense news conference yesterday in Washington.

"If you haven't cared enough to send seasons greeting to dear Aunt Jenny before now, how much does she really mean to you? And those cutesy letters to Santa from the kids? Forget it."

He called on Americans to help postal sorters in the mail-shredding initiative by using red or green envelopes to identify holiday items. Asked if it would help for people to simply not send holiday mail, Brantz indicated that the problem was not the sending but the delivering.

"No, no. We want Americans to feel the joy of sending mail -- and buying stamps," said Brantz, "but we can't guarantee that they will feel the joy of receiving mail."

"Sorry, but we give up. It's just too much," said Brantz. "If we don't stay under budget during this season, our services are going to be handed over to Halliburton in the first quarter of 2005."

A press release issued by U.S. Post after the news conference said the nation's postal system should be back on track shortly, with lost items and late deliveries to resume early in the new year.

The articles on that website are not true news articles. The are fiction and satire, for amusement purposes only. The site is designed to make the gullible think it is real.... glad to see it worked on some....

Hey they got extensions on ALL their HEAVY checks be cause they didn't have the money to do them. It is beleivable that they'd try to get rid of other maintenance tasks also to save cash and continue to slash the maintenance department.
