I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! Some of these were genius and your retorts were every bit as funny. I'll have to watch this several times to commit some of these to memory. Thanks for starting this morning off on such a high note. Both of you gentlemen have a wonderful week ~ Chuck

I almost had a heart attack with that caption! Thank God……Have a great Christmas!!!

[davidwilcox]

You scared the turkey out of me when I read the caption!!

[danielulz]

Dagnabbit Paul, your thumbnail scared the heck out of me!
I too remember those olive green mail boxes on the corners, back when we had twice a day mail delivery. Twice a day newspaper delivery too, and radio and local television. Those were the days.

That was great Bob and Paul! You had me worried for a minute there!

[Dan-qyrg]

Some really great roasts there for sure, loved them all. Oh, by the way, the Dewey/Taft announcement may have been the gold standard for modern day news. Hey Paul, I got a roast, albeit late: One things for sure, you won't have any blurry photos of this one driving past you! 😆Thanks for the enjoyable video, loved it a lot! I hope you and Bob have a great weekend, oh and Model T too!

This was great, Paul. I'll take the snail mail truck anytime. Have fun guys, and happy holidays, Mike

Bob you’re looking good. Thanks for sharing Paul.

Time Stamp 03:37. My son, who is now 45 years old.Asked me, what was to him, a serious question. (Dad, what was it like before color? It must have been sad then.) It took me a min. We had just been going over black & White photos from a scrap book.

What a fun topic and video Paul, nice to see Bob, especially rocking them herringbone coveralls.

Didn't you hear about the colony of termites down at the corner of Maple and Oak streets ? Word has it they were looking for a new home .

[JoeBob]

I actually still have a relay box (those green things that look like a mail box) about a block or two from my house.

The Model A mail truck is cool. Remember it was a rural delivery truck not an urban truck and vehicles at that time did not go much over 40 mph because rural roads were poor. They had postman walking a beat back then in cities. No vehicles except between the main post office and outlying ones and a lot of the between city mail was transported on trains. Could mail trucks be electric if designed for that function? The need is mostly slow speed but the with the need to stop and go frequently. Getting underway is what uses the most power. You would be surprised how quickly batteries drain under those circumstances. Maybe a solar panel on the roof to help recharge the batteries would work? I really don't know but a battery mail truck is not a slam dunk proposition as it may seem. I think with current battery technology a hybrid would work best. A very small internal fossel fuel engine to recharge the batteries.

Ah, Reddit! It’s like Mos Eisley in “Star Wars”: “Never will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

I enjoyed this video with all the all the comments, I bet everyone like to have your beautiful mail truck I would

From a retired letter carrier: those green street corner boxes are called distribution boxes. They are almost obsolete, but can probably still be had....
