I decided today I’d be nice to Gus and actually help him with his letter. I mean, it is a Christmas letter to the guy in the big red suit.
“Gus,” I said, “You know the Roy and the other horses can’t actually deliver that letter, right?”
“Why not?” Gus asked.
“Well, the Pony Express was the name they used for the first fast mail service to cross the continent west of Missouri. They took the mail on horseback.”
“Um . . .” Gus stuttered.
“What?” I asked.
“Do you think Roy will give me back the $19.95 he charged me for express delivery?”
