A mailman in Utah just retired at age 91 after slinging mail for 69 years. Apparently you’re not allowed to deliver mail past the age of 65 but ol’ Jack Lund kicked down a door that has been restricting the freedom of so many for hundreds of years.
Lund retired with a perfect record-never failing to miss a day on the job no matter the conditions. Not so much as one person over his 69 year career complained about Lund. You know when you get a piece of your neighbors mail and you have to go make awkward small talk when you bring it to them? Thanks to Lund the fine folk of Utah never had to deal with that. Probably wouldn’t have been an issue though since everyone in Utah is a mormon with 10 wives and every neighborhood was just one big orgy. A piece of mail slipping through the cracks wouldn’t be the worst thing to slip through a crack in Utah.
But, this guy was a victim of his surroundings, right? He probably got married at like, 20 just so he could elevate from soaking to fucking. Then he probably got married again after 6 months because he got bored with the first wife. Then again after he got bored with the third wife and boom now he has three wives, 8 kids, and a constant migraine.
His mail route was his escape from his hell. Guy probably left at 4 in the morning and didn’t come back until the other 11 people he has to provide for were asleep. Didn’t miss a day when it snowed 30 inches and was so cold that even fresh BYU grads dried up? No shit. Imagine being stuck, inside, for an entire day, with 8 screaming kids who weren’t at school? That’s what hell is just on a loop. It’s groundhog day- every time you go to sleep in hell you wake up to that.
And of course he never gave someone the wrong mail. Homeboy took his tiiiime delivering that mail. Stretch that day out as long as you can my man.
Good for Jack Lund. He got to do something that kept him out of the house and has a great pension to leave behind for his 22 grandkids because now that this guy is retired, he can’t escape from hell.
