my Lost Package story, re: Deliv Confirmation
In Response To: Update on PO Lost Package ()

Here's an interesting post office story that happened to me a month ago. Has to do with Delivery Confirmation. Happy ending.

I sold about $50 worth of stuff to a guy in Texas. He paid with PayPal, and for whatever reason, the PayPal postage-address label (that comes with Delivery Confirmation service for free) gave a CALIFORNIA address by mistake [no apartment number, by the way -- just his name and street address on it]. (He moved from California to Texas some months ago. He claims that he changed his address with PayPal, but who knows what the truth is.)

Here's the interesting part: somehow (maybe due to "efficiency" and laziness) the post office scanned the mail piece as DELIVERED to the California address even though he didn't live there!!!! Surprise happy ending: a month later I received the parcel back from the post office as undeliverable/bad address!!!!

George M. Cohan in "Gambling" (1934). "Originally, 'Gambling' was a stage drama, written by, produced and starring Cohan, that flopped on Broadway in 1929. Cohan starred in the low-budget film version five years later. Reportedly, the finished product was so dire that Cohan asked producer Harold Franklin to destroy all prints and the negative. Franklin appears to have complied: the film was previewed and briefly released, yet all prints vanished shortly afterwards." (Cohan, of course, is the famous "American entertainer, playwright, composer, lyricist, actor, singer, dancer, and producer. His many popular songs include "Over There", "Give My Regards to Broadway," and "The Yankee Doodle Boy." His life and music were depicted in the Academy Award-winning film "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), starring James Cagney")
