Corn is what food eats.

Spoken like a true yankee dumbass.

That's funny coming from a guy that lives in a country where people
can't remember to check their mail unless it's lying on the floor
where they can see it.

The Tofu fartin' fairy can't figure many things out.

Why give yourself extra things to do? You pay the mail company to deliver mail, then have to go fetch it yourself?!


Frigging idiot. What's your definition of "fetch"?

I grab it on the way in. It's no more effort than picking it up off of
the floor. Then, in your case, you have to fumigate it because of how
nasty your floor is.

You pay the mail company to deliver mail and then you pay for wasted heat
because of that hole in your door. Well, maybe not. You probably found an
old rotted piece of wood in somebody's garbage and call it a door. The
hole probably makes little to no difference.

Our letterboxes on our houses have a flap that shuts automatically as
soon as the letters go through the flap.

A spring is far too complicated a device for an American to understand. Stop making fun of them!

Frigging idiot. What's the R value of the spring loaded flap vs. the rest of
the door? Of course, in your case, the metal flap probably provides more
insulation than the termite ridden slab of wood you use as a door.

Most of us have another plastic flap on the inside of the door.
There is no draught and the heat loss through such a small opening is of
course neglible.

He forgot to multiply the R value by the surface area. Of course we can't expect Americans to do maths, only math.


Frigging idiot. It's still an *unnecessary* hole in the door.

It is necessary if you want your mail delivered through it, Twit.


Do Americans not understand "convenience"?
