PAST THE POSTMASTER
Mr Jones wanted to send a snooker cue by parcel post, but he was disappointed. The postmaster told him that it was a little over two metres in length, and that no parcel over 1.5 metres in length, width or depth could be accepted. Mr Jones was not stumped for long. He went away and wrapped it carefully, brought it back, and the postmaster accepted it for posting. He didn’t have to shorten the cue. Indeed, it was just as long as before he had wrapped it. How did he get it past the postmaster?
