It seems to me that in order to cover all proposed territory, we are going to have to learnto bi-locate.
Be in more than one place at the same time. That's kind of like a ghost story.

Quoting Nan:

Many many thanks for reminding me of the existence of rocking chairs. I havent seen one for a while so I had forgotten them and in fact I have dire need of one at the moment as I am in dire straights. I will try to find one tomorrow. Bryter Later . . .

Hey, your avatar is cute.

I must admit I am left a bit in the dark too. I am sure I am missing something here :wink: .
Is it that the mailman would be likely the only man you would ever be in close proximity to and out of a kind of playfulness or even desperation you would attempt to catch him because to actually grab him would be the only way of getting close to him as you are not exactly attractive and given a choice he would run a mile.
Please do correct me if I have it wrong . . .

Quoting Nan:

1. "Eating a Mailman"*
Grimmy did a bad thing teaching Sumo to chase a mailman; he caught one and ate him.

2, Tipping the Mail Man (is this like tipping cows?)

3. Some postal services experimented with other types of animal, usually with little success. In 1879 the Belgians attempted to deliver mail by cats in Liège. They trained 37 cats to carry bundles of letters to villages, but the animals proved to be too undisciplined. (oh no, I woulda never thunk)

4.Pigeon Post
After the Colonel´s and the Captain´s uniforms are borrowed by the British airmen, and later burned, they will have to send for replacement uniforms. Supplied by Michelle are carrier pigeons, which madame Edith accidentally cooks and serves to Herr Otto Flick.

René: I can not tell the Germans that I'm in touch with London. They will have me shot!
Edith: We could tell them Mr. Leclerc the forger is a tailor, and he is going to make them new uniforms.
Michelle: René, you are married to a very clever woman.
René: Well, I have always prefered brains to beauty.
Edith: Unless they have big knockers!

5. Mailman Appreciation Day
Meet the mail carrier somewhere in the neighborhood. Walk on the mail route as far as you wish. The walk will give you a better idea of what is involved in the delivery of mail. Ask questions and thank the mail person for doing such a fine job delivering the mail.

6.Canadian Mail Carrier is a p****!
A Canadian postal system has refused to deliver mail to a home in Winnipeg because one of it’s carriers was scared away by a "very threatening cat." But it was only ‘Shadow’, a declawed common house cat. The owner claims the cat is very docile, and only wants to eat, sleep, and cuddle. The Canadian postal service did not offer any details as to why the letter carrier felt ‘very threatened’ by Shadow, so one can only wonder about the real reasons the letter carrier won’t complete her appointed rounds. Were there threatening notes scribbled in kitty scrawl left in the mail box? Or booby trapped fake hair balls left on the steps leading to the mail box? Scatterings of slippery kitty litter strategically placed on the side walk? If only we knew what makes Shadow so threatening, we may be able to one day find a solution to make letter carriers feel safe from declawed kittens the world over. One day we will!

7. Has your comment something to do with Postie?

That's all I can come up with. My brain is tired today.
