Old sayings On The Back Of Letter Envelopes (Snail Mail)

Some of us may remember when we only had Snail Mail when LOL was put on the back of a letter envelope and it meant Lots of Love, not the internet lingo meaning of today.
SWALK was another saying put on the back of envelopes meaning Sent With A Loving Kiss.
And of course some would put on the back of the envelope;
Postie, postie, don't go slow, be like Elvis and Go Man Go!
Anyone else know a few on the backs of envelopes way back or today other than our names and addresses?
