2. I still remember dropping off boxes to a brown lock box in Eureka, NV. There was a runway, but no taxiway, a very small ramp about the size of 2 BE-99, a hangar that was falling to pieces and a large, brown steel box.
Answers: 1. Just because UPS does it does not mean that FedEx has to do it. 2. I remember that "brown lock box" in Eureka, NV... it wasn't a lock box you dummy, it was a well used outhouse.

Yesterday I went out and shamelessly bought my wife some flowers. My blatant attempt at getting some poontang. Needless to say, much like FedEx, my wife was wise to my blatant attempt and rejected my offer to unionize. Guess what, I'll survive. So will UPS and FedEx.
