Mailman Dedication.

If only all mailmen were this dedicated. Saw this on the net thought you might enjoy.

TAMPA, Fla. - Forget rain, sleet or snow. The bite of a poisonous snake wasn't enough to keep Florida mail carrier Efraim Arango from his appointed rounds Friday.

The 66-year-old was bitten as he put mail inside a mailbox. He told authorities that he shook his arm and thwacked the snake against his car door to break its grip.

Arango continued to deliver mail for 30 more minutes before getting help.

Authorities said Arango identified the snake that bit him, and it was probably an eastern diamondback rattlesnake.

He was treated at a Tampa hospital.

That's what I call going above and BEYOND!!
If that's a true story I hope he is doing well!

Wow...Thats what I call dedication to job.

The postal staff in my part of the world regularly steal away stuff that I trade, especially coins. They haven't found any of my philatelic stuff in mail to their taste yet but they feel free to steal away coins from unregistered letters and deliver the empty envelope.
I even get airmails after couple of months from posting and for some strange reason international mails from US comes wet.
Postman of my country were even caught selling away letters to scrap paper dealers. So much for dedication.
