...and Fifty.

Me: I'd like to mail this package.
Post Office Lady (with snotty attitude): I can't read that. It's too light.
Me: Oh. Well, if I could borrow your marker, I'll trace over it so it will be darker.
Post Office Lady (with more attitude, pointing with her ruby red 7 inch fingernail to the State abbreviation): What's this? Is that W? What's that state?
Me: WV. It's the State of West Virginia. It's the State beside Virginia.

I couldn't help but wonder, is there any job in which knowing all fifty states would be more important? These are the people who deliver MAIL! Seems like knowing all fifty should be a requirement.

Just sayin'--
