When I was a uni student back in the mid 80s, I regularly worked Oz Post mail exchange night shifts Nov.-Dec. as a temp to help manually sort the (then) deluge of xmas mail.
An ongoing, in-house joke was that there were 2 ways to split the atom:
[1] Nuclear fission/fusion as per Einstein, or
[2] Put an atom in a parcel, label it 'Fragile' & send it through Oz Post!
You would not believe what used to happen on the sorting floor (now mostly automated, so the 3:00 AM parcel drop-kick games are much less frequent).
