Sam's Mailbox Picture Collection Is there anything more indicative of the human spirit and mankind's perpetual quest for beauty than a lovingly crafted mailbox in the shape of a cow? Whatever your answer, you can still enjoy Sam's repository of the most bizarre mailboxes on the planet. Apparently, some people like to receive their TV Guides and credit card bills in something a little more ornate than the traditional lunch pail-shaped receptacle. Sam has done us the service of posting the wildest and wackiest of these, adorning streets from North Carolina to New Zealand. From the Octo-Box to the Hammer, it's the most fun we've had at the mailbox since the invention of the plain brown wrapper. It's also educational. For instance, we learned it must be fun to deliver letters from the IRS in Texas. (in Photography Exhibits)
