| A nice way to screw over the Post Office |

|

|
||
The increasing cost of postage to mail letters and packages is
|
||
bringing down our standard of living. To remedy this deplorable
|
||
situation, some counter control measures can be applied.
|
||
For example, if the stamps on a letter are coated with Elmer's
|
||
Glue by the sender, the cancellation mark will not destroy the stamp:
|
||
the Elmer/s drives to form an almost invisible coating that protects
|
||
the stamps from the cancellation ink. Later, the receiver of the
|
||
letter can remove the cancellation mark with water and reuse the
|
||
stamps. Furthermore, ecological saving will also result from recycling
|
||
the stamps. Help save a tree.
|
||
|
||
The glue is most efficently applied with a brush with stiff,
|
||
short bristles. Just dip the brush directly into the glue and spread
|
||
it on evenly, covering the entire surface of the stamp. It will dry
|
||
in about 15 minutes.
|
||
|
||
For mailing packages, just follow the same procedure as outlined
|
||
bove; however, the package should be weighed and checked to make sure
|
||
that it has the correct amount of postage on it before it is taken to
|
||
the Post Office.
|
||
|
||
Removing the cancellation and the glue from the stamps can be
|
||
easily accomplished by soaking the stamps in warm water until they
|
||
loat free from the paper. The stamps can then be put onto a paper
|
||
towel to dry. Processing stamps in large batches saves time too.
|
||
Also, it may be helpful to write the word 'Elmer' at the top of the
|
||
letter (not on the envelope) to cue the receiving party in that the
|
||
stamps have been protected with the glue.
|
||
|
||
We all know that mailing packages can be expensive. And we also
|
||
know that the handicapped are sometimes discriminated against in jobs.
|
||
The Government, being the generous people they are, have given the
|
||
lind free postal service.
|
||
|
||
Simply address you envelope as usual, and make one modification.
|
||
In the corner where the stamp would go, write in (or stamp) the words
|
||
'FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND". Then drop you package or letter in one
|
||
f the blue fedral mailboxes. DO NOT TAKE THE LETTER TO THE POST
|
||
OFFICE, OR LEAVE IT IN YOUR MAILBOX.
|
||
|
||
Sounds very nice of the government to do this, right? Well, they
|
||
aren't that nice. The parcel is sent library rate, that is below
|
||
third class. It may take four to five days to send a letter to just
|
||
the next town.
|
||
|
||
This too is quite simple, but less effective. Put the address
|
||
that you are sending the letter to as the return address. If you were
|
||
sending a $20 donation to the pirate's Chest, you would put our
|
||
ddress (po box 644, lincoln ma. 01773) as the return address.
|
||
|
||
Then you would have to be carless and forget to put the stamp on
|
||
the envelope. A nice touch is to put a bullshit address in the center
|
||
of the envelope.
|
||
Again, you MUST drop the letter in a FEDRAL mailbox. If the post
|
||
office doesn't send the letter to the return address for having no
|
||
stamp, they will send it back for the reason of "No such address".
