By the way, I think that even if you put 07060, it would probably still get to your NJ address. Hilarious!

Just as an example, my New Jersey zip code (07063) covers both my town of North Plainfield and part of the neighboring town of Plainfield. Oh, and I object to your wishing that they would've refused to deliver it. Tax season is enough of a hassle as is without the postal service acting up.

I kind of wish the post office would've refused to deliver it for extra hilarity value, but unfortunately, they do have a sanity check mechanism - the zip code. On that note, I love forms that auto-fill-in your city based on your zip code. Genius! Ahhhhh, that’s great.
