Get a good grip of your chopper
whats all this then?" This was my postman's comment to the amount of card post leaving his hand yesterday. He was handing the 'bundle " through the open window much to the disgust of Mary who was lying in wait by the letterbox , ready to pull anything through with gleeful and overacting malice . " Its a competition " I informed him vaguely , " Though I'm a bit short on the smutty and gay entries!" Even though I am slightly short on the smutty and gay entries, I only said it for dramatic effect The postman nodded, unsure on what to say next. He's not a bag of laughs at the best of times...
Beware; he'll go on strike if it continues!
ReplyDeleteToo funny....!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe should be glad you are keeping him employed!
ReplyDeleteWould it help (or make things worse) if we sent the postman some postcards too? And how would we address them if we did?
ReplyDeleteNow that could be fun. Perhaps we should address them to… 'The postman that delivers to John Gray.. Trelawnyd'… we could add the message... Just so you don't feel left out..... or perhaps not.
DeleteGood idea! I will, for sure. Someone doesn't need to be a barrell of laughs to deserve appreciation!

ReplyDeleteI see you have lots of new friends in Mumbai!
ReplyDeleteYour postman's eyebrows must get a constant workout, with all the stuff you get delivered. Wonder what he thinks?
It's a shame your post man doesn't seem to posses a sense of humour but I think Mumbai is joining in the party!
ReplyDeleteWhat with Mumbai tarts and trolls donning pseudonyms st the drop of a hat...it's all getting rather silly ..of to bed
DeleteThere will be a PC on the way from here today. I had forgotten that the Oxfam bookshop where I do a shift has old ones to sell. There was a whole shoebox with a lot in. Someone's old collection donated......lots of " rude" ones published by Bamforth..Comic Series. All brand new. It was hard to choose just one ! " Nurse, I told you to prick his boil........" as a naked fella is seen running off in the distance ! ( I decided against that one). Just written your address .....only just fits on this small
ReplyDeletecard! I have been enjoying the variety of cards that you have shown us. What a great idea on your part. xx
Umm, gay and smutty. The chimney sweeps dancing over the roof tops comes to mind. Not sure where to find that post card though.
ReplyDeleteDo all Welsh postmen carry an axe and go bare-chested as they cover their rounds?
ReplyDeleteIf only! Although I'm not sure I'd want our postman doing that...he doesn't look much like that pic above.
DeleteIf that’s your postman in the photo, I’d get your mail any time. I’d even forgive his lack of a sense of humor 😎.
ReplyDeleteBag of laughs is my expression of the day, btw.
XoXo
Always keep them asking, "what is he up to now?"
ReplyDeleteI love that you said that!
ReplyDeleteI've never yet met a postman with a sense of humour. Must be all that fear of dogs!
ReplyDelete"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay . . . ."
ReplyDeleteLol!
DeleteI love this. My sister-in-law and I have a running competition with "bare-bum cards" after a "mooning episode" some years back. She however can be a bit of a puritan and instructed me to put my postcards in an envelope so her mailman doesn't think badly of her! Jeez! (Of course, that's South Dakota and not Wales. They're much prudier.)
ReplyDeleteGet a grip, John!
ReplyDeleteClint Walker! 'My, my!' she said, fanning herself.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering why he looked familiar - 'Cheyenne', of course! - which I HAD to watch 'cos my bros liked westerns though I didn't, way back in those days of b/w two-channels only TV. Ah, those were the days! Thank Heavens they're over.
DeleteYes, Cheyenne, so familiar all those westerns. Ty Hardin in Bronco, James Drury in the Virginian, the handsome Eric Fleming as Gil Favor in Wagon Train, Bonanza etc. Yes those certainly were the days. I wish they were still here.
DeleteNope, thank goodness, that was Jock Mahoney. Whew!
DeleteOh you are right xx
DeleteIt took me quite awhile to get to reading this. Clint Walker, yay!! I could stare at him all day! Anyway, like Bob, I enjoyed your response to the postman. My father was a mailman for over twenty years and he had a marvelous sense of humor. Dogs followed him on his route and people gave him liquor and fruitcakes. Sorry, this just brought back memories. How does one go about finding smutty and/or gay themed postcards? I'm even sure where to find the boring ones.
ReplyDeleteNOT even sure. Sheesh!
DeletePuts my entries to shame. But they can't linger on my desk much longer. February 6th?
ReplyDeleteHoo Boy, Clint Walker!
ReplyDeleteI'm so enjoying all of these.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine the postman's face and comments if we'd all sent tea towels or something even bulkier or heavier!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to today's postcard array. :)
Hugs!
I once got sent a Black Bear Head in a package from my Brother... contents identified on package... I often wonder what he thought? *Winks*
ReplyDeleteThat is a fine chopper !!
