Ten of the Strangest Mailboxes You’ve Ever Seen
The Mailbox. It’s (almost) a universal item for American homes.

High density housing (apartments, town homes, and condominiums) typically have generic mailboxes devoid of personality.

However, a few of the mailboxes found streetside at single family homes can be something quite different. Despite the rather boring guidelines from the United States Postal Services (USPS), some folks have decided to express their individuality through their mailboxes.
We offer you 10 of our favorite mailboxes from a collection of “25 Weird Mailboxes” (as gathered by Holy Taco).
The Monster Beneath The Earth
This mailbox is probably on Senator Diane Feinstein’s list
The bike riding mailbox might make some postal workers reluctant to deliver the mail.
Here’s a good use for that old microwave.
The giraffe mailbox hides a standard USPS approved mailbox inside the animal’s mouth.
Fragile, Handle With Care?
Finally, a good use for those old Macintosh computers.
This mailbox may belong to a Democrat… or someone who doesn’t appreciate getting bills in the mail.
Mannequin Mailbox?
The mailbox at #47 seems to be a fitting “end” to this list.

There is one near me that has the “airmail” on a 15 foot pole and a toilet sitting next to it. The toilet is labeled “Junk Mail”. The regular box is right there with the other two.

Posted on February 2, 2013 at 6:04amOurs always get knocked down by vandals. I have always heard if you put one up that could cause damage to another individual that you could be sued. I wanted to bury an I-beam with a 1/2 steel box on top but if an innocent person ran off the road and got killed, I would not want to live with that, knowing I had caused it. I think its time to come up with a new system.

The piece is marked ENTERTAINMENT
If you don’t want to be ENTERTAINED, then move on without viewing the piece.
That way you won’t be annoyed and we won’t be bothered by your annoying comments.

Posted on February 2, 2013 at 9:58amThis is what you must know:
I’m here with you, fellas. Always here, eh? now, word to the wise . . . and to you as well . . . you’re almost beginning to get close to starting to craft what we in the creative world call a joke. It’s something that is funny. And it ‘s funny why? Because it’s clever and insightful and unexpected and well crafted – just the right timing, word choice, rhythm, etc.
Some people have a natural talent for this kind of thing. Others not so much; they’re talents lie elsewhere, like welding and cooking meth. (See? Unexpected. Timing. Rhythm. Get the idea?)
It is so.
