One of my favorites was the Grand Canyon tourist who asked the park ranger, "Why did they put it way out here?"

Eddie, there has got to be some "prize" we can award you at the next get-together for not knowing about forever stamps. Maybe a burned out light bulb we can call the "forever in the dark" award.

I asked my wife to buy a roll of 100 forever stamps recently. That's when I found out that these stamps only come in books of 20. You can't buy them in rolls of 100. You have to buy 5 books.

I've never been afraid to ask a dumb question, but I have always been afraid of not knowing what question to ask. There are so manythings out there that I don't know about and that lack on knowldege means I don't even ask about them. I'm sure I've missed out on more oportunities then forever stamps due to my ingnorance. LOL

"FOREVER STAMPS". You'd be surprised how many people can't get the concept. I work at the post office. and these stamps are sold at the current rate for a 1st-class stamp, and will be sold in the future at whatever the rate may be then. But you can keep them and use them as 1st-class stamps in the future "forever", whatever the rate may go to. And yet people call or ask at the windows, "Now, how many stamps do I need to buy to go with these?" "Are these old forever stamps still good?" "How much are they worth now?" It's not that often that the Postal Service tries to make something more simple instead of the other way around, so maybe that's what is tripping people up.

It goes both ways!
When I buy stamps its usually two or three rolls of 100. As the post office is trying to keep pace with fuel prices I usually have some left between rate increases and need some 1cent stamps to go with the old stamps. After the last rate change I went to buy some 1 cent and the clerk give me the dumbest look I have seen in awhile and asked 努hat do you need 1 cent stamps for anyway? For someone working at the post office and asking what you need 1 cent stamps for is beyond me. This guy should have been left on the routes delivering the mail! On second thought this way they can keep an eye on him so he doesn稚 get lost. Might I add our Post Office doesn稚 get a very good grade on service?

Back to the original post. My Father in Law is always giving my wife grief about moving so far away. We moved from town to the edge of town.
Her response was, Dad, I only live one song from your house. She loves the radio.

I have a roll of 100 and a packet of 100 in my desk. They came from Costco. Maybe Costco packages their own?

BTW, someone told me that he thought "forever" referred to the delivery time.
