Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for September 10, 2020

That joke is older than AOL

Not clear on the concept.

I wish someone would develop a device that would let you know when the mailman has been there. But, oh well.

Maybe it is referring to your husband.

Aunty, I’d complain to Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, if I were you.

Did you happen to spot your wits whilst out there, old girl?

Aunty, you’re lucky, my mail box is a mile away.

My computer told me I have a virus, but I feel fine.

Over the hill and ’round the bend, Aunty… ☺

Wow, I bet some folks won’t get the esoteric “you’ve got mail” AOL reference.

I originally heard this as a blonde joke – sort of like the blonde who put white-out all over her monitor – to correct her errors, of course. (I still use white-out – BIC makes a correction pen; it is perfect for a small correction and saves re-printing.)

For you trivia buffs, “You’ve got mail” was the voice of Elwood Edwards for AOL.

Hey Auntie, that’s on Steve Mnuchin and Louis DeJoy. The machines are being taken in blue states. I live in Texas, so nothing much has changed.

The 90s called. They want their joke back.

Back in the 70s in New Zealand our “postie” blew a whistle if she had delivered mail into your box.

Ours is put into our slot onto our enclosed front porch. Only have to look out the kiving room door window to see it. Just political junk lately.

90% of what shows up in my Snail Mail Box would never be missed if there were a trash can in front of my house instead.
