Norris's Postal Job

This paved  walking path is in East Cobb Park east of Marietta.  The land was once owned by a co-worker of mine, Norris Tritt.  Norris's widow donated the land for a public park.  The path leads to a pedestrian bridge going over Sope's Creek (or is it Soap's Creek?).  The name of the bridge is the Norris Tritt Bridge.

Norris was the postal scheme examiner at the Marietta Post Office.  It was his job to test postal clerks to see if they had some 2000 streets memorized to sort to the proper carrier.  If they failed they would get a second and sometimes third chance, and if they failed they were let go.

Once he tested a good looking young divorcee named Barbara.  Barbara made a bad score- 3 times in a row.  When one fails Norris was to deliver the test result to the supervisor, who in turn notifies  the post master.  

The postmaster was notified.  The next day the postmaster asked Norris was he sure he graded her fair and correctly.

Norris said he did.

The postmaster said surely he made a mistake.  A lady that beautiful could not be that dumb.

Barbara wasn't so dumb after all, she knew how to dress sexy for men of authority.
