yeah, he did more than one route. He had his pickup loaded to the gills, front and back.

I had an afternoon route, but on weekends I had to deliver them at about 7 in the morning. After that, two other paperboys in the neighborhood and I would go ride our bikes to the donut shop. After that I'd go home and watch Saturday morning cartoons. And then after that I'd take a long nap in the afternoon. Then I'd wake up with serious heartburn from the donuts.

Damn. We had a guy like that too. He'd ride a scooter loaded with all the papers where his feet were. His name was Mike Maddox. He was a paperboy legend.

There used to be a van round where I live that sold meat, the bastard played the ice cream tune when he did his rounds. I think that's the most cruel thing I've ever witnessed. It made me give up on humanity, at the age of ten.

Mine was only about 40, but I was enough of a dumb sh*t to take a route almost a mile away. With no ride most days, 40 papers seems a helluva lot more when you lug them a mile 4-5 times a week.
Nice walks back, but getting their was occasionally brutal.
I'll be honest, I laughed when I read that. I do agree though that if I was 10 and heard the ice cream truck, but it turned out to be a meat guy, I would have been pissed.
