 I delivered a >1 lbs  envelope from Office Depot to Oak Tree Golf and
Country Club today.  The contents of the envelope were a box of staples and
an ink pen.  The charge for the delivery was $60.30.

I delivered it in a 48 foot trailer and tandem axle tractor trailor rig,
you know, like the ones you see on the highway, 13 foot 6 inches tall,  and
able to take out entire lawns and limbs.

Dear Office Depot, thanks for your business, but for small packages, there
is this thing called UPS/FEDEX/USPS.
Probably would have saved you about 55 bucks, but as long as you are paying
for my stimulus package, so be it.

I've never placed it on the open market, but my "stimulus package"
would be worth a hell of a lot more than $60.30.

Somehow I wonder if even Mrs. Enslin might disagree.  Are you figuring
by the inch or the hour?


See, $6.03 per inch is way too cheap.
