You can't fix stupid.
but you should be able to send it to a federal penn for tampering with the mail...unless you're under the protection of the postal workers mafia/union
Ebony Lavonne Smith came under suspicion after a supervisor noticed her going through trays for other drivers, removing the greeting cards and placing them in her tray.
So a supervisor suspected her of stealing when he saw her stealing? And I'm not sure why it's necessary to point out her race in the Brickbat.
Where was her race pointed out, beyond her name making it somewhat obvious?
Nowhere except almost in your post. RACIST!
Yes, Fist of Etiquette is an anti-white racist, 'cause as we all know, people named "Ebony" are almost always white, and people named "Ivory" are almost always black!
(FYI, I have know people with the last name "Green", and they were all purple).
The only colors I see are orange and not orange.
Really? Mostly all I see are maroons.
Some not-maroons, but mostly maroons.
Crap now I have that sappy Stevie Wonder / McCartney song stuck in my head.
Yeah, the "Lavonne" makes it pretty obvious
You left your sense of humor in the closet. Her name is Ebony...

WOW! 6,000 federal charges.
Can't wait to see the excuse given to let her off the hook.
It is unknown if the amount of money that was stolen or the letters were returned to the recipients.
Certainly now that she's seen the error of her ways Ms. Smith will gladly provide restitution to all her victims.
Whenever you hear someone arguing for "universal healcare", remember that it would be provided by the same people who run the Post Office.
Newman!!!!!!!
