I just got the craziest thing in the mail! Let's get a visual:
I got a Charred Christmas Card! It came in the little plastic baggie, along with an apology letter from the Postal Service, which said this:
Dear Postal Customer:
In the early morning hours of December 27th, 2008 a contract carrier was transporting mixed classes of mail from Oklahoma City, OK to Dallas, TX. Unfortunately, the carrier was involved in an accident and the trailer caught fire. The mail was heavily damaged by fire and water. We are thankful there was no life threatening injuries.
The United States Postal Inspection Service secured the scene and determined a portion of the mail was burned beyond recovery. We are making every effort to deliver every piece of the recovered damaged mail.
The enclosed mail piece is being sent to you in the condition it was found. Please accept our sincere apology for the damage to you mail.
IS THAT SO WEIRD? I've never heard of that before. Weird thing number two, it was from my Ward Bishopric! What the beans was it doing in Oklahoma!?
