There are many different kinds of clips….
Paper clip, tie clip, grass clippings, newspaper clippings, hair clip.
A clipping penalty in football, a clipper ship, money clip, ammo clip
A clipped way of speaking, nail clippers, The L.A. Clippers basketball team
Mailbox clip
I could go on and on.
But let us reflect on the final clip. The mailbox clip. This is a highly refined clip that only professional clippers should attempt.
This clip requires a 35mph speed limit, a darkening autumn evening, a narrow road, an oncoming car that won’t move over, a passenger side mirror and of course a neighbor’s mailbox.
The end result?
An early morning phone call to the car dealership.
Draw your own conclusions.

Once upon a time, in my father's pickup truck, I clipped the driver's side mirror of a parked car with the passenger side mirror of the truck. Chalk that one up also to narrow roads, oncoming headlights, and just a wee whisker of misjudgment.
