Here is an other one abt Postal Services ...

<<
A child writes a letter to Santa Claus.
"Dear Santa Claus, my parents are very poor and I know that they will not be 
able to make me any gift this year but I do not ask for a big one, I just want 
to be able to play with my buddies in the snow. For that, it would be necessary 
a bonnet, a scarf and gloves for me. I know that you are very nice and I thank 
you in advance dear Santa Claus." 
He puts his letter in an envelope on which he writes "For Santa Claus", and 
posts it. The post-woman, while sorting the mail, sees this envelope which 
intrigues her and she reads the letter. Very moved, she speaks to her 
colleagues about it and decides to make a collection.
But at the Post office they are not very rich too. They hardly join together 
100 francs, just what to buy a bonnet and a scarf which they wrap in a pretty 
package gift to send it to the little boy, "on behalf of Santa Claus".
A few weeks later, the post-woman fall again on an envelope of the same 
type: "Dear Santa Claus, I thank you much for the bonnet and the scarf. 
Unfortunately, without gloves I could not play with my buddies in snow. But I 
am not angry at you, dear Santa Claus, I know well that it is not your fault. 
For sure, once again it is these f**y employees at the Post office who have 
stolen them."
