 Here's an oath the used to mean something, but doesn't anymore. My bank statement is once again lost in the mail, which means I have to go to the bank tomorrow or incur a $29.00 late fee.  This year alone I have sent three packages that that never arrived and two letters that arrived weeks late. And due to lost mail I have paid $40.00 in late fees for bills I paid the day they arrived.
