The house in the background explains it all.
Great for someone subscribed to a pickle-of-the-month club, though.
I’m sure it’s just because he’s too busy workin on the lawn mower to get all fancy with the mailbox.
This give new meaning to getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
xD
Don’t flip your lid and go postal- he was in a jam and (using a can-do attitude) found a simple way to preserve the delivery of First Glass Mail.
Great shot! That is not a Mason jar, though– just a plain old gallon jar.
(that was a Ball)
WOW. As a former USPS rural mail carrier, this PAINS me to look at it! Too-small mail receptacles are the bane of mail carriers the world over.
I am not ashamed to admit that First Glass Mail made me laugh.
Are you sure this isn’t a trailer-park style bird house?
That reminds me about my former neighbour across the street who used to have a mailbox without a lid. One day, he went away from home on vacation and hornets built their nest in it.
After sending their only son to fight in Iraq and defaulting on their mortgage, the Johnson’s began to prepare for jarring mail.
I, on the other hand, am quite ashamed to admit that ‘preserve the delivery’ made me laugh.
-How can a mailbox be ajar?
-I dunno, but I see it!
Is it just me, or does the trailer look like it’s about to fall over backward?
Duct tape again!
They tried to keep all these bad news bottled up, but they just couldn’t keep a lid on it.
I see two problems here.
1. There is no flag for outgoing mail
2. Inclement weather will soak the mail
This could easily have been solved by using the lid to the jar. Attach the flag to the lid – rotate 90 degrees for up or down.
Geez. You have to tell these people how to do everything.
Beep beep! Here comes the mayoman!
Great idea but is it kosher?
You can make anything kosher with duct-tape. Rabi Hillel said so himself.
(citation needed)
Love your comment! Very Krafty.
Why does it need a flag?
CLEARLY, the mail carrier can SEE whether there’s anything in the jar or not. Golly.
>^!!^<
I’m not sure, but I think that’s a bedpost.
@maurice
Are you suggesting then that the jar contained the bed spread?
I guess fruit jars are not just for drinking cheap liquor anymore.
Never a dill moment around here.
@dono1
Exactly, and wrapped in the bed-spread was the post-man.
But you must admit, it’s perfect for when you deliver all those advertising circulars.
As the one who took the photo, I can try to fill in some details:
* The jar appears to be a large & plastic, such as what pretzels, pickles, mayo, Twizzlers etc might come in.
* It isn’t a trailer home, though the way this is framed I guess I can see why some were guessing that it is.
* While the mailbox itself is funny, the story behind it is sad. From what I’m told, the man who lived here died and was found many days later, and the kids are arguing over the estate while the house is beginning to fall apart.
Where is this mobile home that people are talking about?? All I see is the second story of a house in the background. I hate that type architecture, where the second story juts out about a foot from the lower one.
That’s not a mason or bell jar. I recognize that as the industrial size mayonnaise jar they sell in two-packs at Costco. I like me some mayonnaise.
Looks like Santa’s get’n soggy letters this year from the redneck family.
That looks like a jery-rigged mailbox after the local boys came through one too many times playing Bailbox Baseball.
Looks like a plastic container to me, like Chris said maybe a mayo jar or something. I love the way the mailbox post is held together with duct tape, plywood, and zip ties.
I’d hit it.
@dono1
That’s about ALL it’s perfect for!
(I had some puns of my own for my original comment, but I saw you’d already made them all. Kudos!)
Nothing says “redneck” quite as well as this does.
I think his lawnmower ran over some of the duct tape from the post.
That just works on so many levels. Nice
@Tim
@Ben
I have a nieghbor like this. Cuts his lawn twice a year, if it needs it or not.
Looks like somebody who has a problem with the locals playing mailbox baseball.
It’s not a mailbox at all. It’s a squirrel feeder. If you look you can see that there is a small platform infront of the jar for squirrels to sit on while they eat. Food such as seeds, nuts or dried corn is placed in the jar to keep it dry.
This is fantastic. I often findind myself wishing that my electric bill was a little brinier.
This jar was NOT approved by the postmaster general.
Hot redneck mess!
Easton has developed several technologies they claim improve bat performance that include “CNT” (carbon nanotube technology), “Connexion” technology (“most efficient energy transfer from handle to barrel” and most recently the IMX technology (“Integrated Matrix Technology”).
Should’ve used a bail lid.
They wanted to do another take for the dynamite scene in butterfly effect, but the jar just didn’t fit the good ol’ american family persona…
As you may have previously noted, this a rare species of ‘Mailson Jar’ on it’s favorite perch.
