We all know that mail can arrive late from time to time, but a man in Florida said the Ms. magazine delivered to his mailbox this week was 36 years late.
Marc Smit, of Coral Gables, said the magazine was dated February 1976 and addressed to someone who lived at the home long before he and his family moved in 25 years ago, WPLG-TV reported.

Smit told the TV station that the cover of the magazine featured actress Glenda Jackson, and that "There's a part in here about Andy Warhol. It's kind of interesting. It says Andy Warhol is bored. And look at this Oldsmobile ad, brand new 1976 Omega." According to WPLG, Smith said he complains that his mail delivery is routinely late, but now he has the ultimate proof.
