No One Is Immune

I recently had my very own "here's your sign" moment. I was at the post office mailing a letter to New Zealand. The lady working behind the counter said to me, "Next time, if you can't make it to the post office, you can just put three 37 cent stamps on the envelope. It'll be a little overkill, but it'll get the job done." Pleased with this new knowledge that if I didn't want to, I wouldn't have to leave my house to mail a letter halfway across the globe, I asked her, "So, would I need to specify 'airmail' or something on the envelope?" She smiled and said to me, "Well, you can if you really want to, but I think the fact that it says 'New Zealand' on it will probably take care of that." So, no one is completely immune to the destructive powers of stupidity. I almost kicked myself in the neck.
