Yesterday was the due date for taxes, and many people scrambled to file their taxes either online or through the mail. According to reports I've read, the Post Office decided to have a little fun this year, at least in Topeka, by hiring people to dress up as Star Wars characters to "stand guard" over the mailbox as people came to drop off their tax returns. I can just imagine how much fun a guy in a Darth Vader suit could have with people showing up to mail their returns.
[A man walks up to the R2-D2 shaped mailbox. A man dressed in a Darth Vader costume is standing next to it.]
Darth [in perfect James Earl Jones voice]: The Emperor is not pleased with your lack of progress on your taxes.
Man [dumbfound]: Uh....
Darth [pulling out toy light saber]: Paying your taxes is your destiny. The Emperor has foreseen it. Mail your return, and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete.
Man [very confused and scared]: Uh, yeah....
[Man drops the mailbox and hurriedly walks off]
