"Damn it, what did they do with the 68 cents I gave them for postage last year?"

"I'll just have to be that much more selective this year about who receives my annual Christmas newsletter."

Alec Pufall,

"Between the postage increase and the high price of whale oil, it's getting harder and harder to live in the year 1893."
