One Saturday morning in April 2017, a mailman was working his a.m. route in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.


He walked up to one of his usual houses along the way, a home with a bright-yellow door.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary while standing in front of the house. The mailman noticed the family left an addressed envelope sticking out of the door’s mail slot. The second he went to pull the envelope out, assuming they wanted him to mail it, he realized this was no ordinary letter.

You see, with the help of their two teenage daughters, homeowners Billy and Jackie Kelly had come up with something of a prank.


The Kelly family created a long envelope out of a piece of white paper — 10 feet long, to be exact — then addressed and stamped it to look as realistic as possible. It was so long that they had to make it inside their house, where it lined their entire hallway!

When the mailman looked closer, he realized the letter was addressed to “A.P. Rilfools.” D’oh!

Later that morning, the entire Kelly family waited in their car with the cameras rolling. When the mailman came, they watched as he kept pulling and pulling… and pulling…

So, did the mailman have a good sense of humor about it?
