QuacksO's definitions
Where a malingerer habitually claims to be utterly drained/exhausted whenever anything resembling w-o-r-k is suggested, yet is then able to hop right back up and participate in more desirable stuff like eating, intimacy, pleasant/recreational activities, etc.
I'm all for allowing someone to decline helping out with a group-effort task if he truly is disabled or too weak/fatigued to even move a muscle, but I hate it when people use this excuse one moment to get out of any physical effort, yet are then perfectly capable of robustly marching off and playing sports or whatever just moments later --- sounds like limp-rag syndrome to me.

Achmed Da Dead Terrorist might have preferred embombing fluid to preserve his corpse, but since he is now virtually nothing but a fleshless skeleton, anyway, said funeral-home procedure might not make much difference at this point, anyway.

Get the excessoriesmug. An 4-foot-high L-or-T-shaped bracket of timber with a mailbox mounted at the "upper" end; you temporarily clamp it to your existing mailbox so that the "auxiliary" mailbox extends out over the piled-up snowbank; with this simple/inexpensive set-up, the mail-carrier can still reach your box from his vehicle, but the huge blades on the D.O.T.'s snowplows will simply pass underneath the box, allowing the trucks' drivers' to just plow right on through without worrying about damaging your box.
Constructing and installing an extension-mailbox assembly is simple 'n' easy, costs very little (all you need are two or three large C-clamps, an ordinary plastic/metal mailbox, a couple 2X4s, and a little hardware to cobble it all together; these ordinary/everday items can often be obtained for free or next-to-nothing if you "go scrounging" at da nearest metal-scrapyard and/or are good buddies wif da local junk-dealer), and eliminates mailbox-plowing costs and/or tons (literally!) of snow-shoveling. Why glumly shell out twenty or thirty bucks after each and every blizzard to have someone drive out to your home and plow away the snow from your curbside, just so that you can receive a few pieces of junk mail each week???

Being given a commewted sentence could indeed be a more-palatable alternative to serving time in da slammer, but if da fur-balls dat you were being required to baby-sit were cranky and/or gluttonous "Garfields", having to deal wif all of dat could be so distressing and traumatic an experience dat you might actually prefer a stint in jail!
