"This route is killing me. You've no idea what I have to put up with, Vince."
"Yeah? Like what?"
"Vicious dogs! Overgrown gardens! Rusty mailboxes! There's one guy who gets tons of pornography and packages from sex toy companies every day, and he always comes to the door instead of letting me stick it through the slot!"
"Yeah, well, I have disturbing stuff to deal with too. There's this one lady who's always waiting for me, and no matter how quiet I am, just as I start to put the mail through the slot..."
"What? What happens?"
"She opens the door, and she's completely nude."
"...She's naked?"
"Yeah. And I mean, it's not as if she ain't attractive, but you know, one thing leads to another, I end up being late with the rest of my route, then I get yelled at when I get back to the office..."
"...She's naked?"
"You all right, Howard?"
"...Do you think we could swap routes?"
"Um, I don't know. We'd have to check with the postmaster."
"Hmm."
"Anyway, Howard, there's something I've been thinking about lately."
"What's that, Vince?"
"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a zoo?"
