It was George the mailman's last day on the job after 35 years of
carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood..
When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the
whole family who roundly and soundly congratulated him and sent him on his
way with a tidy gift envelope.
At the second house, they presented him with a box of fine cigars.
The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.
At the fourth house, he was met at the door by a strikingly
beautiful woman 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. There
she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced..
When he had enough, they went downstairs where she fixed him breakfast:
eggs, ham, blueberry waffles 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 edge.
"All this was just 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.
I asked him what to give you. He said, 'Screw him. Give him a dollar.'
The breakfast was my idea."
