Must Read! A funny and true story
Today I was in the Post Office to purchase some stamps.

I was looking at some pretty floral stamps and the woman next to me was looking at the Ronald Reagan Stamps. So she fingers the stamps and turns to me, and says "I wish they had George W. Bush Stamps". I said "That would require him to be dead." and she smiled and said "Exactly"! and walked away!

4. snarf!
Bet you wouldn't see that on TV ...


Do you remember the Nixon stamp? Someone made an envelope with an illustration on it -- if you put the stamp in the right place, it made it look like he was behind bars.

6. Ewwww!
I'm NOT PUTTING MY TONGUE ON THAT STAMP! I'd send my letters through the postage meter instead.

That reminds me of a story I heard about a child who wrote on an essay in gradeschool, "If you're President, when you die, they make dimes and pennies out of you."

8. I love the "dimes and pennies" thing ...
Edited on Mon Apr-18-05 03:27 PM by Lisa
If they did actually did that with W (or just put his picture on it), it would sure be "filthy lucre", that's for sure!


As far as the stamps go -- given his lack of popularity in that "sexiest man" survey, it's probably the closest he'd get to being kissed by millions of women.

10. If you have good aim
You can spit from a distance. Though I'd be tempted to spit on the front till it soaks through the back, don't know how it'd affect the adhesiveness.

21. Aren't they all PEEL and STICK, now?
If you wore gloves, you would be OK. And it would be amusing to make a little cartoon balloon off to the side with a snarky comment emanating from the boyking....

On the graduation card: Is our Children learning?
On the job application: Puttin' food on the family!
On the note to Aunt Louise, asking for that family recipe: We need to make the pie higher!

You could have a load of fun with them. Hey, if you can't laugh, all you can do is cry.....

23. Yes, you're quite correct.
I guess I was thinking of an off-color remark about the Richard Nixon stamp. I'll let you put it together in your head...

16. And we could always use this Reagan stamp joke:
April 1, 2005
Fortunately the new 37-cent Reagan postage stamp is self-adhesive so customers aren't forced to choose which side of the stamp to spit on.

24. The downside, if this were to happen.....
is who would be left as president! My husband said the only reason Dick is Vice-President is to discourage any assassination attempts on Georgie boy!

Thanks for the laugh. I have not had one that good in a long time.

30. Well if Dick were to become full time president,
he wouldn't have as much time to run the shadow government from his lair.
