Do you ever wonder what UPS is up to when your package has been "Out for Delivery" since 4:34 AM, it requires a signature, and you don't have all day to sit around waiting?

They probably started a pickup game of kickball, with a big brown box instead of a ball.


That's what I think - but then I'm a pessimist.

Depending on what you ordered, I hope it's on my front porch.

That means they put it into the truck at 4:34, one of the first ones in so one of the last ones out. Doesn't mean the truck drove away then though.

That's not as bad as it saying "Delivered" and you're still waiting there. I did get my little brown box today if that helps any.

Humor is always based on reality. I think people are ordering on line rather than getting in their cars to go shopping. But, maybe they are just lazy SOB's ??
