“Now if you want it FAST, ship it priority mail or Express”

It’s not “crazy” how it makes sense, it’s just basic logistics.

How about just “ “, because this guy’s package & people’s inability to understand logistics aren’t newsworthy?

I’d like to add to your “It wouldn’t even occur to you to drive to the opposite coast and back to take your package, that would be stupid.”

1) What does the number of miles have to do with anything?

Have you ever taken a connecting flight, where you fly to one place you don’t want to go (possibly even in the wrong direction) so you can get on a plane to the place you do want to go?

Why wouldn’t it?

Sorting facilities exist for a reason—it’d be pretty inefficient to require post office employees to sort through all the incoming mail and pull anything being sent in-town.

Amending the Constitution isn’t that much of a problem?

But does saying “that’s a 747" about any large passenger airplane really count when it just so happens that one of the planes in question actually is?

Ok, then you should also know that

Nah, it’s simpler: those who don’t want to open a suspicious package left on their doorstep with an angry letter attached just to see if there’s [char]coal inside.

Yep, much easier to post an irrelevant gif than to pay attention to the world around you.

Actually, you’re wrong on that. Unless you think Connecticut isn’t part of the US:
