Funny post office story.

I had  a batch of .45 caliber 7 round ammunition clips (magazines) that 
I was
shipping to a friend of mine. I walked into the post office and asked 
how much
postage was required to ship them. They asked me what was in the box and I
said, "Magazines." before I could explain myself, the clerk stamped 
"Book rate"
on the box. I didn't want to make them feel stupid so I just said "ok."
