GOOD MORNING POSTMAN FANS!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!
You probably did not know that Benjamin Franklin
wanted the turkey to be the national animal.
Yep, that's right. Just think, if John Adams
and Thomas Jefferso had not outvoted him, you
might have been eating turkey today. Hmm, would
that mean hotdogs on Thanksgiving day? Speaking
of which, over 150 million of them will be consumed
on this day, while we wave old glory. Hotdogs and
wavin the flag, All American passtimes, right?
Well check this out dood...did you know, 350 million
dollars is spent per year to import the majority of all the
grand ole flags we wave, march in parades with, and
wave from our front porch!!! And 80% of them are made in
China. Go figger.
We do hope you enjoy today's issue!
Cordially
Martin aka the postman

Once, in the 1820's, a little boy called Sam was
playing in the yard behind his house. During his
pretend fighting game, he knocked over the outhouse.
Now Sam was upset and worried that he would get into
trouble so he ran into the woods and didn't come out
until after got dark. When he arrived back home, his
pappy was waiting for him. He asked suspiciously,
"Son, did you knock over the outhouse this afternoon?"
"No, pappy," Sam lied.
"Well, let me tell you a story," said the father.
"Once, not that long ago, Mr Lincoln received a shiny
new axe from his father. Excited, he tried it out on a
tree, swiftly cutting it down. But as he looked at the
tree, with dismay he realized it was his mother's favorite
cherry tree," his pappy paused." just like you, he ran
into the woods. When he returned, his pappy asked,
'Abraham, did you cut down the cherry tree?' Abraham
answered with, 'Father, I cannot tell a lie. I did indeed
chop down the tree.' Then his father said, 'Well, since
you were honest with me, you are spared from punishment.
I hope you have learned your lesson, though.' So," the
Sam's father asked again," did you knock down the outhouse?"
"Pappy, I cannot tell a lie any more." said the little
boy. "I did indeed knock down the outhouse."
Then his pappy father spanked Sam boy red, white, and blue.
The boy whimpered, "Pappy, I told you the truth!
Why did you spank me?"
Pappy answered, "That's because Abraham Lincoln's father
wasn't in the tree when he chopped it down!"

Nicholas took his four-year-old son, Bryan, to several
baseball games where "The Star-Spangled Banner" was
sung before the start of each game.
Later, Nicholas and Bryan attended St Bartholomew's church
on the Sunday before Independence Day. The congregation
sang The Star-Spangled Banner, and after everyone sat down,
Bryan suddenly yelled out at the top of his voice, 'Play ball.'
THAT'S ALL FOLKS
Have a nice day
