THE POSTMAN'S CORNER!
As iron is eaten by rust,
so are the envious consumed by envy

GOOD MORNING POSTMAN FANS!
One of my fondest memories of my growing up years
on the farm was harvest time. Being the youngest,
I had one of the least important jobs. In other
words, it was my job to "watch" the elevator as we
unloaded wagons into the corn crib. Corn back then
was harvested from the field "still on the ear".
Not shelled as it is now a days with a combine.
And we used a long conveyor, (aka elevator)
to auger it up into the corn crib. A corn crib was
a funny looking buillding with open holes in the sides.
Slats, sortof. To let the corn "breath".
The elevator was always driven by the old pickup truck.
(a 1947 Chevy International)
Daddy would take the wheel off, hook it up to the pto and
away it would go. Watching it all night long was pretty
boring, but nevertheless it was moving equipment
and required a "warm body." to keep an eye on it.
One night, in November, I looked up to see the "northern
lights" in all its glory. A bit of a rarity as far south
as a state like northern Iowa, which is where our farm
was. Momma had made "meal in a fry pan" for supper, (pretty much
just chilli in a skillet with pork n beans) and she
came and got me and we went out to the field at the
top of the hill, where my pappy and my older brother
were working, looking out across the valley and we
stopped our harvest work for more than an hour to sit
and enjoy our supper. Supper was not at six like you might
think, Our day started at 430 in the morning and usually
ended around 10 or 11pm. Dinner was at 6 and supper was at 10PM.
We typically ate 5 meals per day working those kind of hours.
Anyways, we watched the wonders as the lights played
out in the skies. Pappy didn't have to say anything,
just the fact that he stopped work during harvest season
of all things to watch, made us realize how wonderful it was.
It was a tribute that a power greater than ourselves made
this world. And pappy taught us that easier than any preacher
ever could have. But pappy didn't have to use any words.
It is also a sight I shall never forget and
I will always be glad, no matter how hard I worked growing
up, that I grew up a share croppers son
We do hope you enjoy today's issue!
Cordially
Martin aka the postman

This guy comes home dead tired from working a twelve-hour
day and collapses in bed.He's just about asleep when his wife
rolls over and says, "What would you do if I told you that
you had a beautiful, sexy, horny woman lying next to you?"
He replied, "Don't worry honey, I'd stay faithful."

A redneck was arrested for selling home-stilled whiskey. His
lawyer put him on the stand and asked the jurors to look
carefully at his client. "Now, Ladies and Gentleman of the
jury," concluded the lawyer, "you've looked carefully at the
defendant. Can you sit there in the jury box and honestly
believe that if my client had ANY whiskey he would sell it?"

Two men sank into adjacent train seats after a long day
in the city. One asked the other, "Your son go back to
college yet?"
"Two days ago."
"Mine's a senior this year, so it's almost over. In May, he'll
be an engineer. What's your boy going to be when he gets
out of college?"
"At the rate he's going, I'd say he'll be about thirty."
"No, I mean what's he taking in college?"
"He's taking every penny I make."
"Doesn't he burn the midnight oil enough?"
"He doesn't get in early enough to burn the midnight oil."
"Well, has sending him to college done anything at all?"
"Sure has! It's totally cured his mother of
bragging about him."

Mr. Smith asked his wife for advice about his upcoming
court case in which he could possibly win $50,000 from
the insurance company. "Honey, if I lie, I'll win the case.
But then I would have broken an oath sworn on the Holy
Bible." His wife says, "I don't want to advise you to do
the wrong thing, but ..." "But, what?" "Let me put it this
way," his wife explained. "Treat the prosecuting attorney
like I treat you in bed." Puzzled, Mr. Smith asks, "How so?"
Mrs. Smith replies, "Just lie there 'til he goes away."

It's about 10 p.m. on a Wednesday night, and a guy sitting
at a bar finishes his drink and is about ready to go home.
Before he gets a chance to walk out, the bartender says to him,
"Hey buddy," why're ya goin' home so soon? I usually see you
here until past midnight. Something wrong tonight?"
The guy responds,
"No ain't nothin' wrong, just gotta sore butt from sittin'
on this bar stool for so long."
"Buddy, I got just the thing for ya," says the bartender as
he's reaching up to the top shelf behind the bar.
He pulls down a bottle of pills, opens the bottle up, and
hands the guy two white pills.
The guy looks at the pills in his hand and says,
"What're these, aspirin?"
"Nooo," says the bartender..... "stool softener."
