The U.S. Postal Service announced this week that it would discontinue regular mail delivery on Saturdays, a move officials say will save the struggling agency $2 billion per year. Here are other measures the post office is taking to balance its budget:
- Shrewd new ad campaign preying on people’s desire to lick things
- Looting any mail resembling a birthday card from a grandparent
- Now accepting pipe bombs and anthrax for regular delivery
- Eliminating all zip codes containing the number 5
- Offering a free largemouth bass mailbox with the purchase of a USPS Premium account
- Getting into human trafficking
- Rebranding the agency as a hip new company known only as “The Service”
- Launching new “Please, Anyone, For The Love Of God, Mail Something” series of commercials
