Where do you live, Peyton Place? (laugh)

My brother was a mail carrier for a few years. He told me
that people would waylay him on his rounds and try to bribe him
not to drop off certain mail at their house so their spouse wouldn't
see it. I guess bills that had something on it that they didn't
want exposed for one reason or another.

I never asked him what he did about it.
