The other day I was behind someone mailing something to Cambodia and the person was like 'do we ship to Cambodia even?' and it reminded me of when I had to explain to my local post office how to mail a package to Cambodia years ago so @bethanyshondark could have her Cheerios.

Postal employee: Sorry sir, we don't send mail to *squints* Cambodia.

Me: Do... do you think this is a made-up place?

Postal employee: Well, we have no way of sending them mail.

Me: This isn't a remote tribe in the Amazon, this is a country. Cambodians get mail too.

Postal employee: We've never sent mail there before.

Me: You sent mail there three weeks ago. Or did you just slather my letter in Elmer's glue and eat it?

Anyway the government is great I love the government.
