Mail Carrier Gift

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Mail Carrier Gift

Post by Mrs Jason Whittaker »

I just thought of a fantastic idea! When I give the mail carrier his Christmas gift/tip, I can include a Wooton episode--probably Welcoming Wooton or For the Fun of It.

Better yet, how about a whole series of career episodes for Christmas gifts:
Dental Dilemma for the dentist
How to Sink a Sub for a teacher
Recollections for an inventor/discovery emporium manager
Two Sides to Every Story for the fire fighters
A Pokenberry Christmas for the pastor
The Last Great Adventure of the Summer for a CIA agent
All Star Witness for a lawyer
The Scales of Justice for a judge

The list could be endless.

Hey, that's not so far fetched. There was a CIA agent that lived in our old neighborhood. He had blacked out windows in the back. :- And one time my dog escaped and ran into his yard...he came out and offered me a leash. O:)

I'm glad you're all catching on. Now you have the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

But I'm completely serious about the mail carrier gift.

Mrs Jason Whittaker, I contributed to the sarcasm, but I really like this idea! I'm sure your mailman would love the creative gift. ;)

Unfortunately, I don't even know who our mail carrier is. It seems to change a lot so I've never bother to investigate.

They can accept gifts valued up to $20. And no cash. Those are the federal regulations.

That's interesting, I never knew that. I wonder if Canada has any analogous regulations.

If I had kids, I would be serious about the teacher gifts, too.

I appreciate the silliness, too. That's what makes you my ToO friends. If I suggested this to any of my other friends, they would shake their head and say something about my obsession with Odyssey.

Now I'm going to make this into a list of career specific episodes. But I'm stumped on which one I should give to my chiropractor.
