Postal Workers Offered Buyout

Thirty thousand employees of the United States Postal Service have been offered a $15,000 incentive to quit, which would save the troubled agency $500 million next fiscal year. What do you think

Young Man

Nigel Zabel,
Systems Analyst
"With $15,000 in their wallets and specialized Postal Service training, these folks can write their own tickets."

Old Man

Scott Hiller,
Pedigree Tracer
"I feel bad for the postal workers. To help them out, I think I will begin a chain letter warning people they will be struck down with cancer unless they send the letter to 10 other people."

Old Woman

Judy Moynihan,
Soil Scientist
"If the fifteen grand doesn't work, they should offer each of them their own commemorative stamp."
