US Postal Service raises cost of mailing letter to $411

The U.S. Postal Service raised the price of mailing a first class letter from 34-cents to an astounding $411.00 yesterday. The Postal Service said the raise was needed because of an increase in the cost of mental health insurance and general corruption.

Calls of outrage to the rate hike were met with condescending derision by Postmaster General, John E. Potter. "Whaddaya gonna do? Write a letter of complaint?" Potter said before slapping a high five with a nearby crony.

The new stamps will feature the pictures of the current Postmaster General, John E. Potter. A move that some people derided as "jerky". "Whaddaya gonna do? Write a letter of complaint?" Potter said again before slapping a high five with a nearby crony who seemed less impressed with the joke the second time around.

The USPS will be increasing production of their $410.66 stamp for a few months so that people can use up their left over 34-cent stamps.
