Be it cute, silly, or just plain ugly, a mailbox is a window to the homeowner’s personality.
Take this mailbox, for example:
I think the message here is broadcast loud and clear. I not only want to avoid this house, but I also want to sing praises to the brave mailman for sticking his hand in the barrel to drop off the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes letter.
Then there’s this guy:
Either this homeowner is into bicycling or proctology – and really, I’m not sure which. All I know is that the mailman had better wear a rubber glove for delivery.
The next mailbox isn’t in front of a home—but those of you who follow any of my blogs know what a Star Wars geek I am, so I couldn’t resist.
It looks like R2 has suffered from a little bowel problem in this picture.
Lastly, I had to include the perfect mailbox for the Fix-It-Yourself offices:
I, unfortunately, have just a plain old mailbox that won’t stay closed, has numbers falling off of it, and a flag that needs to be wedged with a stick to stand upright.
