Slow Mail





















I've once cut this comics out from a newspaper, and I recalled it when reading Ilona's post http://www.missivemaven.com/2011/01/slowest-snail-mail-award.html about her letter to travel three months to Bermuda.
This comics is in Finnish and the meaning of the texts is:
POSTI KULKEE JOSKUS HITAASTI = MAIL TRAVELS SOMETIMES SLOWLY
TÄSSÄ KORTISSA SANOTAAN, ETTÄ ENSIMMÄINEN MAAILMANSOTA ON SYTTYNYT = IT STANDS IN THIS POSTCARD THAT THE WORLD WAR I HAS STARTED

  1. Ha!

    I find it especially ironic, as Finland is one of the fastest countries for mail exchange with the USA, at least in my experience.

  2. Haa that's great! I do think it's true because it can take so long for mail to arrive I find.
