Message: [QUOTE="Flipside, post: 5311831, member: 13256"] Being a paperboy back in the day was basically a mix of mob boss and intelligence officer. You knew [I]everything[/I]—who was behind on bills, who just got a new car, who was vacationing based on the mail pile-up and the temporarily suspended delivery request. You overheard stuff through screen doors, spotted late-night guests sneaking out in the morning, and if you kept your mouth shut? Boom—holiday bonus. Respect was earned, not given. Cross me, and your Sunday Courant [I]might[/I] just land in the puddle. We weren’t just slinging papers—we were running the neighborhood intel network with spokes, ink, and silence. [/QUOTE]
