I would never insult or speak for my fellow posters, Gary, but to answer for myself only; Yes, I am that dumb. [pie]
In WHISPERING WHOOPEE Charley Chase, Dell Henderson, and some other character actor play a game with Thelma Todd, Anita Garvin, and some other equally gorgeous 1930 vamp, and what they do is call somebody into a closet to give a delivery. The reactions when they, ahem, come out of the closet, imply more than making out to me. Perhaps the kids game aspect of it involves kissing, but this version had a more adult spin. I'm assuming in 1930 or 1934, when WHOOPEE and PIGSKINS were made, post office was a more commonly known game amongst kids, so putting a more "adult" spin through Charley Chase's game or Curly's comment was a joke people would regularly get.

Curly also says, " I thought she wanted to play post office..." in PAIN IN THE PULLMAN, when he's caught peeking into a woman's train compartment while he s looking for "Joe" his pet/performing monkey. Judging from this context (check out the clip) and the others, it is definitely something akin to "playing doctor" or whatever you want to call it. Definitely sexual. Definitely Curly. Definitely funny !!!. [3stooges]
