That's nothing.  One time I was sent an invitation by mail.  I knew it
should be arriving, and after a week or two, it still hadn't come.  I
was surprised that it would take so long, since it only had to travel a
few miles.  I finally assumed that the sender had overlooked my name,
picked up an invitation in person, and forgot about the whole thing.

About a year later, the invitation unexpectedly arrived in the mail.  I
only have one clue to the envelope's long and adventurous journey: the
words "MISSENT TO BEIJING" in small red letters.
