THE POSTMAN'S CORNER!
The early bird may get the worm,
but the second mouse gets the cheese
GOOD MORNING POSTMAN FANS!
Keep this in mind the next time you are about to
repeat a rumor or spread gossip.
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was
widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance
ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do
you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell
me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called
the Triple Filter Test." 'Triple filter?" asked the
acquaintance. "That's right," Socrates continued,
"Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a
moment to filter what you're going to say. The first
filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that
what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know
if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter,
the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell
me about Diogenes something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something
about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're
not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little
embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass
the test though, because there is a third filter, the
filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about
Diogenes going to be useful to me?" "No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me
is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to
me or anyone at all?" The man was bewildered and ashamed.
This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher
and held in such high esteem. It also explains why Socrates
never found out that Diogenes was shagging his wife.
We do hope you enjoy today's issue!
Cordially

Slightly incredulous, the attendant alerts the
senior flight attendant. The senior attendant
approaches the blonde and says, politely, 'I'm sorry,
Miss, but since your ticket is for coach, you'll
have to move back.' The blonde replies, sweetly, 'I'm
blonde, and I'm beautiful, and I'm going to New York
to be a model' -- and shows no signs of moving.
Frustrated, the senior attendant informs the captain,
and he says he'll deal with the problem.
He turns over flight control, walks to the rear, and
observes the blonde seated comfortably in first class.
Approaching her with a smile, the captain leans over and
speaks quietly into the blonde's ear. Almost immediately,
the blonde gathers her things, gets up, and moves quickly
to the coach compartment. Amazed, the senior flight
attendant asks the captain, 'Captain, I'm impressed ...
what did you say to her?'
The captain grinned slyly and said, 'I just told her
that the first class cabin doesn't go to New York.'

Two men are at opposite ends of the Earth.
One is on a tightrope 90 feet in the air.
The other is getting a blowjob from a 90-year-old woman.
But they both have the same thought at the same moment.
What are they both thinking???
"Don*t look down!"

Sarah was reading a newspaper, while her husband was
engrossed in a magazine. Suddenly, she burst out laughing.
"Listen to this," she said. "There's a classified ad here
where a guy is offering to swap his wife for a season ticket
to the stadium."
"Hmmm," her husband said, not looking up from his magazine.
Teasing him, Sarah said, "Would you swap me for a season ticket?"
"Absolutely not," he said.
"How sweet," Sarah said. "Tell me why not."
"Season's more than half over," he said.
