Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime

There was a time that a builder was trying to ship enough bricks to Alaska for a project. According to US Post Office lore, he went to the post office, and addressed each stamp, and had them individually mailed to the job site.

You can mail a potato to your friend. Just to go Mail A Spud and send a tuber to your cousin.

The winner of the Ripley's Believe It Or Not contest in 2014 was the person who mailed a Hula Hoop.

What child wouldn't be enchanted to open the mailbox and find a nice pink toy pig?

You can send a Frisbee by mail! You might try a boomerang, but it would probably arrive marked "return to sender."

And here's a way to send a coconut to your friends back home.

And here is the story of someone who sent a coconut to the San Diego Opera!

Apparently, this person went to the Post Office in Hawaii, and mailed a labelled coconut back to the mainland. The opera staff was so happy about it, they put a picture of it on Facebook!

"We get the strangest mail here some days," the post said.

The Opera said they think that an employee on vacation sent back the coconut.

Here in Baltimore, when we go on vacation, we bring back boxes of saltwater taffy or macaroons or caramel popcorn and pass it around, so everyone knows who brought the goodies.

I don't get the point to the nameless coconut.
