The Mailman’s Last Day

It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35 years of carying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighbourhood.

When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift voucher. At the second house they presented him with 6 bottles of decent wine. The couple at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures. At each of the houses along his route, he was met with congratulations, farewells, cards and gifts of all types and values.

At the final house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful young blonde in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where they had a most passionate liaison.

Afterwards, they went downstairs, where she made him a giant breakfast: eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, hash brown potatoes and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied, she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge.

"All this was too wonderful for words ", he said, "but what's the dollar for?"

"Well," she said,"last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day and that we should do something special for you, so I asked him what to give you? He said, 'Screw him… give him a dollar'" She then blushed and added, "But the breakfast was my idea!"
