I'M AFRAID TO LOOK IN MY MAILBOX TODAY I'm afraid to look in my mailbox today! The bearers of bad news, tell me I'll have to pay for things I bought long ago, for medical procedures, I didn't ask for. A collaboration of messengers that I'd like to shoot.

I write all their names down, drawing slips from a hat, and if they don't quit bothering me, I'll take their names out of that! By: Wordplaya, December 2008
