Thanks, Stupid Coppers

Believe it or not, I still put together models.

Not long ago, I put together one of Ben Grimm, the Thing. A woman I know thought he was funny, because he had blue underwear instead of running around naked, just the way the Hulk always wore purple cut-off jeans.

So I send him to her to where she now lives, in Alaska.

He takes forever to show up, so long in fact I thought he was lost.

He wasn't.

Apparently the postal coppers thought there was drugs in him, so they rip the package open, tear the Thing apart, thinking he was hollow, I suppose, then crudely tape the package up with all the Thing's parts just lying loose in the box. No note, no explanation, nothing.

That's why superheroes have always been so popular, to fight crime and corruption, whether, as the Constitution says, "foreign or domestic."

Yeah, I thank congress for the patriot act every day. It keeps us safe from super heros, so that the non-super heros can play hero, and keep us regular folks in line. Now what if that Thing had made it to Alaska intact? Where would the US be then? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Wait! That was a character from Mayberry who didn't live in our real wold right?

This woman also told me that once when a jewelry box was sent to her, it also had been opened, and some of the jewelry was missing.

Hey, if the government is going to open our mail, the least they can do is not steal anything, right?
