La Poste

"Standing in line in the Unionville post office this morning, I noticed a new guy at the counter. Stocky, dark, slight accent. Then I noticed he had NPR on the radio and complimented him on it. When I bought my stamps, he said "Voilà" as he handed them to me. "Merci," was all I could call up on the spur of the moment. But to my amazement the next customer and he conducted their business in French! In Unionville!"

  1. I shudder to think what would happen if Joey Vento heard about this. At a government office no less.
