Since we’ve moved into a brand-new development, we don’t even have a mailbox yet so we have to go to the Post Office to pick up our mail. The location for this is their warehouse in the industrial part of town, and when you go in, there’s simply a tiny lobby and a doorway that leads to the rest of the warehouse.
While waiting for the postal lady to retrieve my mail, I noticed a whiteboard leaning up against the wall inside the warehouse. It was a chart, and the heading at the top was, “DCU FLASH (PERFORMANCE)”. It seemed to mark down delivery times/speeds.
Of course, any self-respecting comics geek would recognize that “DCU FLASH” refers, of course, to DC Comics‘ Flash, and is entirely appropriate for a chart about delivery speeds.
Well, at least I thought it was kinda funny.

Ok, I’m not sending you to the PO anymore 😛
Would that be the post office on Underwood? That’s the only one I can think of that fits your description. Or is that a UPS office?
No, the one on Business Way. I didn’t know about it, either, until relatively recently.
Jon, You *did* know about it ’cause I’ve sent you there before to pick up a package or two in the last 5 years. 😛
Yes, hence "relatively recently." It’s all relative.
