Here's an interesting article that looks at some of the weirdest way the US Postal Service has delivered mail over the years.

I found the tubes the most interesting. I thought that was just something from fiction, I didn't know they really existed.

The rocket was just a bad idea all around. Can you imagine what kind of reaction that would bring today?

Ha, if nothing else, I guess you could say that they are inventive and will try just about anything to get their job done and the mail delivered.

Remember their motto " Neither rain, sleet, snow, nor hail,....". I guess you could add "no matter what type of transportation or container" along to that too, lol. :D
