There's an LA legend about how Slash (of Guns 'n' Roses infamy) would hire a guy to follow him around on benders and carry him home when he was too drunk to walk. I'm not sure if this legend is actually true, but the US Postal Service appears to be following the same logic in attempting to solve their long-queue conundrum...

This sounds like a joke, but it's being reported by the Houston Chronicle: The USPS is removing clocks from post offices in order to allow customers to better "focus on the postal service."

"We want people to focus on postal service and not the clock," said Stephen Seewoester, Dallas spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service.

The USPS has removed clocks from 37,000 post offices as part of a "retail standardization program."
