Special delivery

Here’s a thing I found mildly amusing.

One of my neighbors subscribes to The Washington Post; I mean, a physical copy of the newspaper is delivered every morning. By which I mean: it gets flung from the delivery guy’s car, so it generally makes it beyond the parked cars, but not on her doorstep.

So, as I walk past, I pick it up and place it on a stand she has next to her front door. All she has to do is open the door and reach out for the paper. It’s always enclosed in a plastic bag, which is normally orange.

Well, on Saturday, I noticed that the bag was blue, and then I saw this:

I actually checked to see that the paper enclosed was indeed WaPo, and not NYT.

I reckon the delivery guy may also deliver the Times and either he ran out of Post bags or mixed them up somehow. (Although he did, in fact, deliver the right paper.)

Sunday we were back to normal orange. Order has been restored in the universe.
