5th July Postman's Knock

The postman died on Sunday but the mail still keeps coming, mainly bills of course.
Isabelle shed a tear. I said "What exactly was it that made you sad?"
"The fact that he'll never drive down our road again, and see another sunny day like today."
"Is that it?'
"Well, I'm happy he had June."
"Would it have been less sad if he'd died in February?"
"No, because that would have been his last Christmas."
"I thought as much, that's why I didn't say January. What if he'd died in March?"
"Then he'd have missed the summer."

"I'm just trying to think of a month when it would be ok to die."
"I think September would be alright."
"Yes but he might have had his holidays booked..."
