1. eew...

Surely he could have found SOMEPLACE where he could have used the bathroom..

With everyone & their uncle having cellphone cameras these days, anyone who is out & about should think that they are always on-camera..

How embarrassing for him and his family, even if he did do that disgusting thing:(

6. in some suburbs it might be harder to find a public bathroom than you'd think

I taught community college at an outlying suburb of LA and asked my students if there was a 7-11 or gas station nearby where I could buy a quart of oil. They said the nearest was 15 minutes away on the freeway. I believed them because there were no businesses of any kind nearby that I could see.

10. nope. not in this case

there were 2 public bathrooms quite near.

[yurbud]

20. what part of Portland was it?

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. We have burbs like that here

Nothing but houses for miles.

2. Leave him alone!

Shit happens.

3. But whose mail did he wipe with? Enquiring minds want to know.

Well, no, not really...

27. Last thursday's "Politco"

No harm done.

[BillyJack]

4. oh poop. n/t

[walldude]

5. Everybody poops...

they even wrote a book about it.

[JohnnyRingo]

7. They're really crackin' down aren't they?

I imagine he found a good use for those Home Depot ads, but I think I'll be handling my mail by the edges for a while.

8. Your subject line made me think Biblically this early in the AM

you know...he had just gotten out of the whale and then this guy came along and shat on him. Job never had it easy, did he?

[ixion]

9. well, when you gotta poo, you gotta poo

[bluetex]

11. I wonder ....

How/if he washed his hands? Lotta' bad joo joo associated with fungi and bacteria contained in feces. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) comes to mind, right off the top of my head.

[ixion]

12. Purell is a possibility... in any case

you'll find public bathrooms on street corners in Europe because they've figured out that sometimes you just have to go.

26. And here in America, IF you can find a bathroom,

the store usually expects you to buy something if you are going to use it.

17. Around here the mail carriers wear exam/surgical gloves. No Joke.

Makes me wonder if the mail is dirtier than their feces.

18. Being somewhat disabled, I don't get out a whole lot, but...

it seemed like every winter I would still get sick somehow.

I figured it might be the mail. So once I started washing my hands after handling mail, or packages from UPS, I wasn't sick as often.

So yeah...dirty mail...I can believe that

[Shagbark Hickory]

23. ok well thats gross. I thought it was because of anthrax.

[postulater]

14. And if the pope poops in the woods does anyone know it?

[Ikonoklast]

16. I can't bear to think about it.

The pope wears that big hat for a reason, yanno...

[immoderate]

31. Does he make a noise?

15. Even the Pony Express gets the trots

Goin' Postal just took on a whole new meaning.

[Thunderstruck]

19. Sometimes you just gotta take a dump right now, or else.

[yurbud]

21. maybe he was just marking his territory so no other mailmen would try to take his route

[Poll_Blind]

22. LOL, and with THAT...you win the thread!

:rofl:

PB

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. LOL Agreed!

:rofl:

[NorthCarolina]

24. Did he wash his hands afterwards? nt

[yurbud]

32. just wiped them on some envelopes he had handy. Didn't you notice the stain on your electric bill?

[BobbyBoring]

25. How do they know he was doing #2?

He might have been eying one of his customers Hustler Mags and was boppin the Baloney

[bluetex]

28. I dunno...

Maybe the big ol' stink pickle he left in those folks bushes gave him away?

[customerserviceguy]

30. Take this job and sh-- (on) it?

Gives a whole new meaning to the words, "Special Delivery".

[sudopod]

34. My quesiton is who sees this and says "WHERE'S MAH CAMERA?"

also, slow news day or what?

[Cerridwen]

35. Just another one of those teachers...er, I mean gov't employees

doing what they do best. Was this a gov't carrier or a contract carrier? City carrier or rural or contract? You know there are different classes of USPS letter carriers, right?

You know, kinda like the gov't teachers versus the "private school" teachers.
