Someone Should Have Expressed It Better
Was the stamp still valid? A holiday postcard put into a mailbox 33 years ago finally arrived at its destination in Germany this week. The picture postcard was sent by a holidaymaker in the Bavarian Alps to a friend in the city of Aachen, 550 kilometres away. Both the sender and the recipient are long dead. The postal service could not explain why the card took so long to reach its destination. They suspect someone might have found it and sent it on again.
FOOTNOTE: Dead letter office.

Wow! That is so weird/interesting!
Finally! Something that makes Canada Post look good!
This reminds me of the scene in Amelie!

How could they Nazi this coming?

That has happened in UK. But then that's the Royal Mail...
It probably went via the U.S. Postal Service.
Hmmm....my grandfathers brother was MIA in WWII. Several years after they finally pronounced him dead, my grandfather rec'd a letter in the mail from it. The stamped dates dated back to before he went to missing and my grandfather refused to ever open it.
