Do You Look At Postage Stamps?
Posted by Pam on 26 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Pam Rants
When the mail arrives, do you look at the stamp before you open the envelope? Does the stamp matter to you? I ask because I was stuck in line at the Post Office today when an older woman went up to buy stamps. Oh no, not just any stamps, she wanted Christmas stamps, but they could not be rectangular, they had to be square. The clerk said he only had one type left but pointed to several other types on the bulletin board that were available. Nope, not good enough for her. He made the mistake of saying maybe another clerk (there are only 2 there) had some, so of course she interrupted the other clerk mid-sentence to ask — loudly — if he had square Christmas stamps.
Are We Getting Cruder And Cruder?

Driving behind a truck today with a bumper sticker that read, “don’t like the way I drive? Dial 1-800-EAT SHIT”, I realized we’re a really crude nation. And, it’s getting worse and worse.
Been down the candy aisle in your local grocery store or pharmacy lately? They have this chocolate moose with little tiny chocolate pellets and yeah, you guessed it, it poops out little chocolate pellets. They also had a penguin that has the same features — push a button and it craps out chocolate.
The Food Police Are Attacking

They now want to ban all restaurants from using oil with trans fat because it’s so dangerous to your health.
Some restaurants say no, it will change the price of the oil they buy from $10 to $35 and they can’t afford it. Sports bars will be hit hardest as all their appetizers appear to be fried.
I’m waffling on this. When I buy food products for my house, I’m careful what I buy. When I eat out, I try to be careful, but you don’t know how much salt they use or what types of oil.
