Message Delivery Services
If you want to send a message, but don't want to use email or snail mail, there are a couple of options.
For a fee, Telegram Stop will deliver a message to someone in the form of an old-fashioned telegram (complete with "stop"s in place of periods).
Another option, which I like better, is the Message in a Bottle Server. It's an informal network of sites run by people who are willing to put your message in a bottle and throw it into the sea (or river) near where they live. For free.

The first on is kinda cute for a novelty but the second really has no point to it.

What we WUvians need to do is start a "Hoot 'n Haller" service where one of us gets contacted with a message then goes outside and yells the message to the next WUvian closest in the general direction of the recipient.

Because we had family spread across several states, we had our own package delivery-relay service -- when you went to visit someone, you took birthday gifts and Christmas presents going in that general direction and collected ones coming your way. It usually took four stops in four months for a package to get from SD to CA, five or six stops but only a month or so from SD to OH. Saved a fortune on postage, but it was odd buying Christmas gifts in July.
