"hauling the mail"... a phrase used to define a vehicle, human, or other object moving at an incredable rate. (faster then the object would typically move)
The first
time i heard this i was in
minnesota watching a riding lawn mower do a wheelie down a side road then take off down mainstreet. the rider recieved a ticket for speeding. The thought behind this phrase is simple.. mail men get you you're mail usually overnite... from places all over the
country, not much is faster then that. hence "hauling the mail"
while watching a
barstool race.
Man1: a barstool with a 5hp motor on it? This is
crazy!
Man2: yeah these things are awesome.
Man1: did you see how
fast they were going?
Man2: yeah man, they were "haulin the mail!"
