Postal Strike – who knew?
ANT KATZ
Blogger Howard Feldman posted his latest piece “The South African Postal Strike – who knew?” earlier this afternoon and it is already the top read of the day, by far!
“Imagine my surprise when I heard the South African post office was on strike. And to make it worse, they have downed tools for the last three months! I am appalled. How could I have missed this? The country must have come to a complete standstill while I was busy on Facebook. The wheels must have come off, mere anarchy has loosed on our world – things must have fallen apart,” writes Feldman.
“So I phoned my mom. She is normally very up-to-date on these matters, and told her what I had just read somewhere on the Internet. ‘Nonsense,’ said she. ‘We would have known.’ And then there was a pause. A long pause (which is unusual as she normally pauses just long enough to take a breath). ‘But now that I think of it, I haven’t seen an E-toll account’ (which she likes to hide from my father, given that there is a “gantry” between her home and Caesar’s Casino). ‘Maybe it’s true.'”
