When I was a substitute carrier, I had been on a route for about four months and it was about Christmas time. A customer came out as I was delivering and asked me if I was the regular carrier on the route. I said no your regular carrier will be starting in January but I’ve been filling in for the past few months. He said so you have been delivering the route? I responded yes yes I have. He said well merry Christmas and he slapped a $10 bill into my hand. I started stammering and stuttering because I didn’t know the regulation at the time. I didn’t even know if this was legal. I said well thank you so much. And as he was walking away I said and merry Christmas. And As he continued to walk away I said and happy new year. I was totally elated. And then I turned to walk away and stepped in the biggest pile of dog poop you ever saw. I tell this story to people to let them know that you could be on top of the world one minute and the next minute, well, you know.

Hammie’s book report on “War and Peace” it starts with war and ends in peace.*
*From an episode of “Laverne and Shirley”.

I would hate to know what the book Hamish is assigned to report. Maybe something complex like Lev Nickolayevich Tolstoy’s War and Peace.

Sounds like Hammie’s got the stupid part locked.

He’s too young to worry about getting in to Harvard, so if he writes anything, he should get a passing grade.

Have someone else critique it Hammie, someone less biased!

Maybe that was in the book "The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid ". Sounds about right.
