@zleap@Sunny@flexghost I was thinking recently about how in the 90s the slang "going postal" blew up. Then I learned that from 1983 to 1999, 35 people died in 11 post-office shootings. Averaging ~2 people a year and less than a shooting a year. Back then, that was enough to get into the language we used....these days, it's a Tuesday.
