A TRIP TO THE POST OFFICE
First you must visit a tailor, who wraps your parcel in newsprint, and then sews an ivory linen pouch to the exact size. He expertly whip-stitches the last edge shut, and then seals the seams with hot red wax. Arriving at the post office at last, the clerk informs you that parcels are only accepted between 10:00-1:00; come back tomorrow. The next morning, 11:00, stand in line and fill out form and pay then stand in another line for the receipt (which advises in small print that aum is the sound of the universe and wishes you peace) and hope that the bundle makes it home.
