Once upon a time we asked our readers to shed a tear in their beer for the guy who wrote so many letters to his girl friend that she married the mailman. A Pfc whose initials are JD sent the gag home to his beloved. She in turn wrote this poem:

The mailman doesn't deliver mail here
So have no fear
But JD sez he is still puzzled—he overlooked the fact that the elevator boy delivers mail there.
