A heavy set man driving a Chevy Cheyenne pickup has killed one man and wounded two others in Ill. and Ind. He is approaching people at random and asking them about honey bees and then shoots them.

I worked for the PO just a couple of years ago. Subbed on a rural route for a year and a half.

I heard about a test being given and decide to take it. Sat in a big room with about 150 other people and took the test. Walked out of there just shaking my head. Was called in for an interview and got the job. I did not want or need a job at the time (retired) but what the heck it was something to do.

My house is on the same route and the delivery lady keeps asking me to come back. No way!

Probably another unhinged envirolefty overcome with rage at people’s inaction with regards to the disappearing honey bee crisis.

Dunno, but a quick trip around google shows an islamic obsession with honeybees, even by the muham himself. And they seem to be worried about the bees going away. Hmmm...

How come these folks aren’t on the terrorism watch lists?

If it's AlGore green, it's okay with the enviro-nazis, no matter if it's a outright lie, dangerous, misleading or a hoax designed to bilk billions upon billions of dollars from the world's population.

By the way, these folks are busy - accumulating OUR names for those lists.

Hey if it had been me I would have been asking about Bumble Bees! They are the big time visitors to my garden.

Well it must have been better than soiling your pants down at the bus depot?

[Red_Devil 232]

I did that the night I got off the bus at Paris Island. Everybody was so nice to us young kids until the doors opened!

[Red_Devil 232]

Well it must have been better than soiling your pants down at the bus depot?

Yeah, until my wife found out that if I planted a few seeds and had to tend a garden her life would be easier!

[Red_Devil 232]

Close but in 1969 it was one in the morning and scarier!

[tubebender]

Obviously your lumps were yet to come. Are your dogs trained to attack Drill Instructors?

[Graybeard58]

Well it must have been better than soiling your pants down at the bus depot?

I hate when that happens.

[Miss Behave]

He bee crazy.

[ApplegateRanch]

Oh. You mean you were employed by the Postal Service. I worked for the United States Post Office Department. LOL

I still have my huge lapel pin introducing ZIP-Code!

A couple of times I've been tempted to put in for our rural route...then we get a blizzard, and I wipe my brow, while thanking the Lord that he blessed me with a spirit of procrastination!

[Red_Devil 232]

They are traind to attack any one who arrives between 9pm and 6am. They do alert me between 2-3am every morning with some desire to go outside. They check the perimeter and return to report that they have done their dooooty.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yep same outfit. I was 57-58ish when I started. 41 mile heavy route. Lots of businesses a section eight project, apt. buildings and couple of trashy trailer parks and very nice country areas. Gawd I hated delivering to the sec. 8 project it was the low point of every morning.

[greeneyes]

I know nothing - nothing! Then run like h*##, or pull out your concealed carry and advance, whichever you feel you can pull off. Me - I’ll be running.

[Red_Devil 232]

You can never ever reveal where the Bees be!

[greeneyes]

LOL. Yes. Do be a good doobee and be real quiet.

[poobear]

Just shoot him RD. We’ll sort things out later.

Gawd I hated delivering to the sec. 8 project it was the low point of every morning.

That's easy to believe. My job was running Special Deliveries, and doing a collection box & substation station collector route. Some presorting etc in the "slack" times.

The highlight of my 'career' was being late for Dispatch, after my last pickup, IF I stuck to my official route. I was in a Dodge station wagon "school bus" that was borrowed for Christmas rush. It had a 440 Magnum in it, so I hopped on the freeway, at night in the rain, to shortcut back, and passed the Superintendent of the Mails while hitting 105-110.

Since the school district had loaned us several of these vehicles, they couldn't prove it was me. I made Dispatch.

He had his family with him, and gave up trying to get a number (couldn't) when he hit 75 and was being left in the dust. We all got an earful from him when he finally got to the P.O.!

You are too funny. I was going to say “Amish?” but they don’t drive so “Mennonite?”
