Congress Is Fixin' To Fix the Postal Service

Word is spreading of a bipartisan, bicameral effort among Congressional leaders to fix the U.S. Postal Service. Before anyone gets too excited, let's remember that "fix" can also mean:
  • Castrate or spay
  • Restore or repair
  • Kill and preserve a specimen so that it can be studied under a microscope
  • Give someone a dose of an illegal drug
  • Take revenge (as in, "I'll fix him!")
  • Arrange an outcome dishonestly, such as with a bribe or by stuffing a ballot box
  • Establish something in a way that prevents it from changing (such as a fixed rate)
I'm just sayin'.
