[MSNBC.com] Straight out of the Seinfeld episode “The Andrea Doria”, a mailman has apparently tried to save the world from spam snail mail.

(PS – do you know how long it took me to gather all the Seinfeld info below?! but anything’s worth it for the Man-Log)

From MSNBC:

DETROIT – Thousands of pieces of undelivered mail and ads from the early 1990s have been found in a shed in Michigan, and a former postal worker is now charged with stealing mail.

Authorities said Monday that 66-year-old Earl Hicks was charged after his sister found the mail while cleaning a shed behind his former home in eastern Michigan. Hicks recently moved to Florida.

Officials found 544 pieces of first-class mail and nearly 3,000 ads.

Below the script from the episode when Jerry confronts Newman on the mail being stored in his storage unit.

[Setting: Newman's apartment]

(Jerry knocks on the door as it opens slowly. Newman’s sitting on the couch, watching TV in a state of depression)

JERRY: Newman?

NEWMAN: (Eyes glued to the TV) I guess.

JERRY: Listen, I want you to get the mail outta my storage unit.

NEWMAN: Sometimes we don’t get what we want.

JERRY: (Confused) What are you talking about?

NEWMAN: I didn’t get my transfer.

JERRY: “Transfer”?

NEWMAN: To Hawaii. The most sought-after postal route of them all. The air is so dewy-sweet you don’t even have to lick the stamps.. But it’s not to be – So, I’m hanging it up.

JERRY: You quit the post office?

NEWMAN: Kind of. I’m still collecting checks, I’m just not delivering mail.

JERRY: Well, get it out of my storage. It’s illegal.

NEWMAN: And yet, it’s perfectly legal to take a man’s soul and crush it out like a stale Pall Mall.

JERRY: (Cheerfully) Well, a law’s a law. (Leaves)

To get rid of the mail, Jerry does Newman’s route. Below is the result:
