The news from the US Postal Service never ceases to amaze and entertain. In this gem, a postal worker stole 26,000 direct marketing mail pieces over a period of several years. But it didn't come to light until his house caught fire and firefighters had to wade through piles of junk mail in order to put out the fire.

This hilarious incident brings up all sorts of questions, like: why didn't the postal worker throw away the junk mail like everybody else does? If he was stealing this mail to get ideas for his own direct mail business, why was he still working at the post office years later? How many postal workers did it take to count the 26,000 pieces of hoarded mail? And did the USPS finish delivering those pieces, or did they toss them?

Joke: How many postal workers does it take to sort 26,000 pieces of direct mail? Answer: Only one, because all the mail goes to his own house.
