Government Built That!
Mail usually takes a day in Los Angeles. You send it Tuesday, and it's there Wednesday, unless, perhaps, you're sending it to somebody who lives in some hippie hollow.
Well, a letter with a check dropped off in the box at the Los Angeles Post Office that's 3.7 miles from the recipient took one whole week to arrive. (It's not like Christmas came unexpectedly, dudes!)
How about a month to get from Chicago to Minneapolis? I know, not a record, but still...

How about a month and a week to get the same letter. I got two credit card bills for the same card on the same day. One was one month late.
Kinda wonder why they even bothered to deliver it at that point.

Topper:
At Savannah River Site, I sent an official form noting that we did not have the proper drawing for a piece of machinery at work that we checked every day.
Five years and ten days later, the form came back, saying that the problem had been corrected. It was signed by five engineers.
It was sitting on a work order and lockout dated that day, which were on hold because a walkdown that day found that there was no proper drawing for that piece of machinery.

Hey, go easy on the US Post Office - they have been a great excuse for many, many, Americans over the years:
"The check is in the mail."
If they start getting too efficient, what other excuse are we going to use?
"The email payment must have gone into your spam folder?" Nope, that won't work.
