It's not a common expression like walked down the street or walked off or even just walked up the stairs

More - I asked if he was going to the post office to collect the letters missing from his name. She said no.
He is human and of average stature - his height isn't significant.
He doesn't work at the post office.
It wouldn't matter if he was a woman.
It doesn't matter that he walks up the steps - the joke still works if he just approaches the post office.
It doesn't matter that it's a post office, I asked if a library would also work, she said yes. I said:
'So this works: 'there one was a woman called Boswell. For short they called her Bos. And she walked up to the library'
She said yes.
