Today the U.S. Postal Service revealed a stamp series celebrating the 30th aniversary of Star Wars. Now is the time to bring on your lamest, geekiest Star Wars stamp jokes. Here. I'll start.
"So, now, it's, like, neither rain, nor sleet, nor asteroid field, nor bumbling Ewok, nor Rebel uprising, nor lame prequel, nor Jedi mind tricks, nor Sand People attack, will keep these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
"Screw Omaha. For $.41, the Postal Service should deliver my letter to Ice Planet Hoth."
"Ever since they let Wookies carry the mail, I haven't been getting my Victoria's Secret catalogs." (I really don't even know if that one makes sense.)
The USPS is also running a trivia contest that tests your knowledge of both the Star Wars universe and the Post Office. (As in, I shit you not: "Obi-Wan wants to send a package from Tatooine to Endor, but the local post offices and mailboxes are all guarded by Stormtroopers representing the Galactic Empire. What is his best option?" The answer, of course, is "Arrange for package pickup." Well, really, the answer is, "Obi-Wan is a fictional character who lived in a time before the Postal Service was established. And you. . . you are a giant nerd.")

Did I miss another postal increase? Last I checked it was .39 - maybe I need to go to the post office AND the bank...
What would really be neat is if the mail boxes had jet packs and could take off and blast their way back to the post office for delivery. Get out of the way!
LOL, LOL...Well, I am a true nerd and because...(ARE YOU SITTING DOWN?) I have never seen any of the STAR WAR films...I don't know a joke nor cou;d I make one up, nor do I understand anything about these films. Sorry.
In theory and for arguement's sake... Isn't Obi-Wan's time well after the establishment of the postal service because Star Wars takes place in the future doesn't it?

I read on down about the oven mitt and had to pull myself up off the floor while laughing to type this. Hysterical.
I have it from a good source that in Chicago... it won't matter if the Jedi attack or the Stormtroopers try to block the mail... the carriers there ONLY deliver if the spirit moves them... Around here we seem to have had a bit of that problem going around as well.
BTW, Michele sent me.
Great title. And now you have my mind out in space thinking about how far we've come from the pony express! Michele sent me.
hey, let the post office have their fun and games as they have fewer and fewer real letters to deliver as we all email them... I still send my checks to the IRS via postal service, post marking them on the right day, knowing I'll get a day or two more interest off the money I'm paying them that way! Anyway, 'nuff rambling, having a good day and Michele says hi
I had the kettle on the boil all day but you didn't show:(
That's a far cry from the pony express! Space cowboys on space ponies??
Michele sent me,

39 cents here too, Carli. NJ must run a little different--or were you talking about Hoth?
