Let's play "Post Office"?

Maybe this doesn't merit a whole thread, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else. Can someone explain to me what this "Post Office" game is?

In the original script (thanks queensgirl) there is this exchange:
Maddie: What are you doing here, David?
David: Waiting to play Post Office. Close your eyes and pucker up.

Then in the version that aired David says he's happy to be in the post office because in junior high "Post Office" was his favorite game.

I get the feeling we're talking some kind of make-out game here, but I've never heard of it. Can somebody clear this one up for me?

I guess I always assumed 'Post Office' was the same as what we call 'Postman's Knock' here in the UK, which is a kind of kissing game you play when you're young. Just looked at Dictionary.com and it confirms this:-

Post Office: A game in which kisses are exchanged for pretended letters.

That sounds right. Any in the States ever played this one? Is it a regional or a generational thing? I've "heard of" many a make-out game, but not this one.

maybe the most of us are too young to know that game. When David was playing this in high school he must have played it in the sixthies.
