It was George the…

It was George the Mailman’s last day on the job after 35 years of carrying
the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood. When he
arrived at the first house on his route he was greeted by the whole family
there, who roundly and soundly congratulated him and sent him on his way
with a tidy gift envelope. At the second house they presented him with a
box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of
terrific fishing lures.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman
in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through
the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the
bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had
ever experienced. When he had had enough they went downstairs, where she
fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles,
and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied she poured him
a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill
sticking out from under the cup’s bottom edge. “All this was just too
wonderful for words,” he said, “but what’s the dollar for?”

“Well,” she said, “last night, I told my husband that today would be your
last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him
what to give you. He said, ‘SCREW him. Give him a dollar.’ The breakfast
was my idea.”
