At the end of the last tail, Fluffy was in the air, trying to fulfill every dog's dream of nipping part of a postman. The saliva was dripping from Fluffy's fangs and the blind dude was trying to remember if Fluffy needed a rabies shot. While Fluffy had all her fleas put seatbelts on for her descent, the policeman was bursting through the door and Mr. Murphy (Dave) was reaching for his tear gas container. Things were happening fast.
Dave, having read ‘Postman Survival Skills,' meant poor Fluffy didn't have a chance. A full spray of tear gas to one eye and Fluffy decided to postpone her attack until there was an outdoor venue. She went back to her owner and he gave her some eye drops. Rob was pointing a Derringer at Dave and was about to shoot when the Officer said, 'Make my day.' Robber Rob dropped the gun and as it hit the floor a shot rang out and ricocheted off a spoon someone had dropped on the floor the previous day.
Unfortunately, the ricochet tore Dave's shirt leaving a gash in his arm. Blood came out like slightly frozen tomato juice. The officer arrested Rob the robber and Scarlet got the first aid kit and tended to Dave. Dave looked at his watch, grabbed the latte and said, 'I must go to my interview.' Scarlet ran after him hollering, 'Sir! Sir!' but Dave never looked back. Scarlet came back and said to the Police Officer, 'He never paid for the latte.' The officer gave her a wink and the rest is donut heaven.
Dave got to the interview exactly on time and with the latte gift in hand, the interviewer was impressed and said, ‘Next time bring some extra sugars.' ‘You mean I'm hired,' Dave gushed. ‘Yes, Mr. Dave Murphy, you're what our Post office needs and it's a big plus your picture isn't hanging on the wall.' They screamed 'Go Postal' in harmony. However, there is one last thing to report. While they were going through postal regulations and playing Jeopardy with zip codes, the interviewer noticed the red stains on Dave‘s torn shirt. He said, ‘We of course will give you a shirt, but I highly advise you not use ketchup at lunch while wearing this.'

Hope Dave has fun at the post office. I'm sure it will be a lively place with him there.

I'm also glad that I got a notice this time that you had posted this story. I never got a notice last time.
Thanks for the laughs.
Well, I am back from a heart wrenching journey through a splash of light and darkness of which I am going to write and serve you on a platter from tomorrow.

That has been running through my head a few days anyhow...
