Dear Captain America

April 10, 2013

FOUND by TCP near Salem, Oregon

At a thrift store I opened the drawer of what I thought might be a vintage Paul McCobb desk, and found this letter draft folded up in the back. Without reading it I stuffed it into my pocket, hoping that it might prove interesting when I got home. For the most part I was not disappointed in this regard.

FOUND by Josh Miller in Alameda, California

I found this on the street after garbage day. I assume it strayed from the recycling bin and onto the curb where I found it. I pity this girl’s future boyfriends.

I found this a few months ago at a bus-stop. Apparently the staff do not understand that liquids don’t go in rice boxes.

FOUND by Kate Kelly in Akumal, Mexico

I found this in a Yucatan Peninsula guidebook that was left in our vacation house in Akumal, Mexico. Apparently the beach atmosphere stimulated the economic savvy of this tourist.

Specifics?

June 21, 2009

FOUND by Erin in Bellinham, Washington

I found this comment card in one of the dining halls at my school, the reply by the chef was just too amusing to pass up, so my boyfriend took it off of the bulletin board for me.

Your First Parade

FOUND by Mary in Fort Myers, Florida

Found this in my driveway on a rainy day. Looks like a journal entry that slipped out of its book. Feels to me likes its written by a young mom.

Inappropriate Grandma

January 19, 2009

FOUND by Stacey F. in South Lancaster, Massachusetts

A co-worker found this in his driveway one Sunday morning. I kept it because it’s so damned funny and disturbing. The simple call of “flaps” got us through several horrendous days.
