pre-licked

heeheehee.

You know the best invention the post office ever came up with was the pre-licked stamps. So how come they refuse to call them that?

Try it. Walk up to the counter and ask for some of the pre-licked and they'll respond that they have a wide selection of self-adhesive stamps. Say it over and over, as if you were not hearing their translation and they will respond over and over, as if they were not hearing yours.

There must have all been shuttled off to some education seminar somewhere, where they were forbidden to ever utter those words.

But I like them.
