> Thank A Mailperson Day (Feb 4) deserves special mention for politically correct unwieldiness as well as stupidity. No, I'm not going to send a thank-you note. I presume that whoever delivers my mail gets paid to do it. It's their JOB, damn it. They're not performing some noble and unheralded act of self-sacrifice.

Okay, so let's say you want to celebrate Thank A Mailperson Day because you want to thank your mailman for his hard work all year long lugging around envelopes and small packages to an uncaring world. Apparently, the only way to do so is to send a card which would make his job that much harder.
