Quote: Special Postage Stamp By Jaagriti Verma Tuesday 14th, December 2010
A politician wanted a special postage stamp issued with his picture on it. So, he instructed his people, stressing that it should be of international quality.
The stamps were duly released and he was pleased. But within a few days of release of the stamp, he began hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and he became furious.
He called the people responsible and ordered them to investigate the matter. They checked the matter out at several post offices, and then reported the problem to the politician.
The report said, "There is nothing wrong with the quality of the stamp. The problem is people are spitting on the wrong side."
Nobody has added to this for a while so here is another-
Those stamps marked with letters of the alphabet -- used when the price of mailing a letter changes -- have come to an end. The spokesman didn't say it, but ending the alphabet series at this point also avoids the next logical step in the series, the 'I-rate' stamp.
Quote: A special one for those stamp collectors who love their animals:
This made me laugh, I have come home many a time to find stock cards, envelopes and stock books in bits on the floor.
Luckily nothing of real value has been devoured yet... I think she does it because I spend so much time on them when I should be spending time with her.
