Well you learn something new every day. Agah, my mailman at work (who brightens my day like no one else at 10:30 a.m.), told me that he doesn't do the outdoor routes anymore when he delivers. But, he said, even if he did, "they give us two pairs of pants to wear!"

"At the same time?!" I cried out.

"Yes!" And he proceeded to undo his overtop Canada Post pants to reveal more Canada Post pants!

At the same time, people. Twice the pants. Christ.

He also gets seven weeks of vacation every year. That's right, I said it. Seven. Today's his last day. I'll miss you Agah!

There are two italian words today. They are posta andpantaloni which, respectively, mean mail and pants.
