Season 8 Episode 4: How To Marry A Mailman
Airdate:
October 19, 1989


Margaret O'Keefe is coming back from Canada to see Cliff.

Cliff points to the US Post Office logo on his sleeve and starts rambling...



You know guys, I've been telling you for a long time now that, like the proud bird on my sleeve, I was a lone eagle. Yep, even an eagle's got to mate once in his life. It molts in the spring, you know, the female lays one to three eggs, incubation period is about 35 days...
(Margaret walks into Cheers.")
(Carla: "Thank God.")


The truth:

Since Cliff is talking about the bald eagle which is the national bird of America as well as the logo for the US Post Office, his facts are fairly accurate.

It takes an eagle almost half a year to completely molt but they do start molting in the Spring.

On average an eagle lays just under two eggs.

The incubation period for a bald eagle is about 35 days.

Let's go postal:

  • The US Postal Service delivers hundreds of millions of messages each day to more than 141 million homes and businesses.
  • In 1775 Benjamin Franklin became the first Postmaster General under Continental Congress.
  • The dead letter office was formed in 1825.
  • In 1847 postage stamps go into use.
  • The Pony Express begins operation in 1860.
  • Collect-on-delivery (COD) is available in 1913.
