USPS

Lance visits his Post Office daily or so. His customers mail their checks to his P.O. box as opposed to his home (good idea, Lance). So he dropped in a few weeks ago and the post office had apparently decided to advertise a new goal. The customized sign hung on the wall was inscribed, "Our goal: deliver to your P.O. box by 8:30 AM."

"Cool," Lance thought, as he picked up his mail from the previous day.

A few weeks passed during which time Lance received regular payments from customers in his P.O. box. Business is fine and most folks seem to be paying OK. Monday, Lance stopped into his post office again and noticed something odd. The customized sign hung on the wall was changed to an all new customized sign inscribed with the proud declaration, "Our goal: deliver to your P.O. box by 9:30 AM."

Evidently, the post office workers couldn't meet their 8:30 AM goal so it was moved up an hour to 9:30.

Government work is great if you can get it.
