Royal Mail Recall
-
Royal Mail have created a stamp displaying a picture of Gordon Brown. Unfortunately, the stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the Prime Minister, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and spending of £1.1million, a special commission presented the following findings: 1. The stamp is in perfect order. 2. There is nothing wrong with the adhesive. 3. People are spitting on the wrong side of the stamp

When I first heard it, it took some guts to tell it.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Now that can be solved quite easily: have the image on both sides, glue on both sides too, and charge double as you now can use such stamps twice. :)

Does that mean you're licking his backside when you lick the, um, back side? ;P The real question here is: Why are you Brits still using stamps that require licking?

It would be a different joke if Erich Honecker were the target of your humour.

The unions behind the post office don't like progress in any form (apart from progress towards oblivion).

It's strange - I know I'm better off, but also, the joke lost its bite. On a lighter note, xkcd[^].
