Moment Of Genius!

Hello There Old Friends!

Ahhhh! Veteran's Day - A federal holiday, a day to remember our Veteran's, a day that the post offices are all closed...

So, I had a package to mail and as I only have Fridays off (Saturdays and Sundays too, but those are kids and "lazy" days) I decided to mail off the package today. I asked Brian if he wanted to join me, and he said sure. We pack up into his truck and drive to the post office - after seeing only a few cars in the lot, Brian says to me, "Uh, you sure it's open this late? This is the least amount of cars I've seen in that parking lot, ever."

"It's only 3:00 - it's still open."

So we pull in, I go in and the counter is closed. Obviously, I'm a little peeved - I make him drive me to the next post office while I mumble that I cannot for the life of me understand why it's not open, for god-sake. We get to the next location only to find that it is also CLOSED. This is where I go nuts and start flailing my arms about, and shouting things about government conspiracies when Brian snaps his finger and says, "It's Veteran's Day, Dummass! The post offices are all closed."

Fuming, I say, "If I'm the dumass, why didn't you tell they were closed BEFORE we drove out here, HuH?"

And that my friends is a moment of genius generated a moment too late.

BTW, Happy Veteran's Day!
