This embarrassing but funny tale is a 1983 excerpt from Reader's Digest's most popular department and new book, "Life In These United States®." The first collection of Life In These United States® was published in Reader's Digest in March of 1943. Over the years, the department has become almost synonymous with the magazine, being one of the first sections that readers turn to first. Now, Reader's Digest has assembled some of the department's best selections from the past fifty years into the book, "Life In These United States®." Inside the book you'll find true stories from people all across America; funny, heartwarming, inspiring tales that will make you smile and think about how we look at ourselves and the world around us. Although the contributors of the tales come from different backgrounds and cultures, the stories that they share are ones that we've all experienced (or are glad that we haven't!).
Pick up a copy of "Life In These United States®," put your feet up, and get ready to spend an enjoyable hour or two reading! I know that I'll now chuckle every time that I see the mailman!
