The Postman delivered a letter last week and it says "Do Not Bend" in large red letters on it. I still haven't figured out how I'm supposed to pick it up.

Personally, I'd simply bend the rules instead

You don't suffer from back pains don't you? I learnt how to pick up anything without bending.

Either you bend your back or your knees. The only exception is the librarian of Unseen University, who has long arms.

Your thoughts are a bit too conventional.
He could just stand straight, fall over and roll over to the letter. Opening an envelope can be a bit tricky without bending one's fingers - but gnawing is worth a try.

Or ask someone to dig a hole and lower him into it, so that the letter is at desk-height.
So many options once you start being creative

But then how would I get back up?

Really? It just goes to show how some people are never satisfied.
First of all - falling probably hurt (particularly if face first) - why would you want to do that, again?
Putting that aside, that was not the nature of the problem, as stated. Many brave and thoughtful CPian's tried to contribute to solving your dilemma. Those should have garnered your gratitude - not brought forth further inquires, challenging their viability and sincerity. Hopefully, not too many feelings were hurt.
So - flop over and get on with it. I'm sure, once so situated you'll find inspiration in the thoughts and contributions in this thread to come up with something . . . . . . eventually . . . . . . or not.

You're right. I'll just lie here and be grateful.

Plenty of ways:
- Hand stand.
- Stick with sharp end
- 2 sticks
- Vaccum cleaner
and on and on.
If the letter is anything to do with quantum physics, already have it, you had it, you will have it, you will never have it, you never had it, there is no letter, there is no you, there is no postman, postman is still there, letter is still at origin.....

I'm stealing a version of this for a wedding speech in the future. I have a friend that does applied mathematics research in a related field. She'll love it

Can't fathom what field it could be. Can you reveal?

To be frank, I barely understand the simple version of the topics even though I took decently high-level math. Four years ago when I could kind of understand the "this is as simple as I can make it" explanations she was doing modelling with Lyapunov exponents, Floquet theory, and something else I can't remember.
As I understand it, it's not so much directly related as tangentially related. Something about predicting unpredictable behaviors in systems. They were looking to apply the model to real-world problems like traffic, flows within huge gatherings, etc.
I'm... honestly not sure how that turned out. I should follow up. We don't really talk work anymore because we're just speaking a foreign language to each other, lol.

If it's an invoice from your chiropractor, just leave it there. If he complains about not getting paid, you can tell him you were just following his instructions.
