Too bad that all the people who know how to run this country
are busy driving taxis and cutting hair. - George Burns
WELCOME TO:
THE POSTMAN'S CORNER!
HELLO POSTMAN FANS!
So, everyone wants to talk about dieting.
Me, I sometimes wonder, is a diet really
that much healthy for you? I know what
my doc says. "Martin, diet diet diet. You
need to lose ..." Blah Blah Blah, right?
But think about it, Personally I have to
wonder is dieting unhealthy? I mean,
its like this...
if you do it too much,
you could make yourself disappear.
Right? So, maybe a diet is not good for
you after all.!!! I suggested this truth
about eating to the war department. All
I got was that "look" You guys know what
I mean? How women roll their eyeballs
at you? I think I am gonna start me a new
website. About HIDDEN TRUTH! maybe I
could write a new book,
WHAT DOCTORS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW
ABOUT DIETS. Man, it will probably be
a New York Times best seller.!
We do hope you enjoy today's issue!
Cordially
Martin aka the postman

What a world? .... On Thursday, 24 January 2002, Derek Guille broadcast this
story on his afternoon program on ABC radio. ((Story from Australia))
In March, 1999, a man living in Kandos (near Mudgee in NSW) received a bill for his
as yet unused gas line stating that he owed $0.00. He ignored it and threw it away.
In April he received another bill and threw that one away too. ?
The following month the gas company sent him a very nasty note stating they were going
to cancel his gas line if he didn't send them $0.00 by return mail. He called them,
talked to them, and they said it was a computer error and they would take care of it.
The following month he decided that it was about time that he tried out the troublesome
gas line figuring that if there was usage on the account it would put an end to this
ridiculous predicament. However, when he went to use the gas, it had been cut off.
He called the gas company who apologized for the computer error once again and said
that they would take care of it. The next day he got a bill for $0.00 stating that
payment was now overdue. Assuming that having spoken to them the previous day the latest
bill was yet another mistake, so he ignored it, trusting that the company would be as
good as their word and sort the problem out. The next month he got a bill for $0.00.
This bill also stated that he had 10 days to pay his account or the company would have
to take steps to recover the debt. Finally, giving in, he thought he would beat the
company at their own game and mailed them a check for $0.00. The computer duly processed
his account and returned a statement to the effect that he now owed the gas
company nothing at all. A week later, the manager of the Mudgee branch of the Westpac
Banking Corporation called our hapless friend and asked him what he was doing writing
check for $0.00. After a lengthy explanation the bank manager replied that the $0.00
check had caused their check processing software to fail. The bank could therefore not
process ANY checks they had received from ANY of their customers that day because the
check for $0.00 had caused the computer to crash. The following month the man received a
letter from the gas company claiming that his check has bounced and that he now owed them
$0.00 and unless he sent a check by return mail they would take immediate steps to recover
the debt. At this point, the man decided to file a debt harassment claim against the
gas company. It took him nearly 2 hours to convince the clerks at the local courthouse
that he was not joking. They subsequently assisted him in the drafting of statements which
were considered substantive evidence of the aggravation and difficulties he had been forced
to endure during this debacle. The matter was heard in the Magistrate's Court in Mudgee
and the outcome was this:
The gas company was ordered to:
[1] Immediately rectify their computerized accounts system or show cause, within
10 days, why the matter should not be referred to a higher court for consideration under company Law.
[2] Pay the bank dishonor fees incurred by the man.
[3] Pay the bank dishonor fees incurred by all the Westpac clients whose checks
had been bounced on the day our friend's had been.
[4] Pay the claimant's court costs; and [5] Pay the claimant a total of $1500 per month
for the 5 month period March to July inclusive as compensation for the aggravation they had
caused their client to suffer.
And all this over $0.00.
