]anet - an outline aficionado - sent this fun envelope for Jan and Wrigley. I need to examine it closely and determine if she lets the ink touch the edge of the stamp. It makes me nervous to get ink on a stamp because of something I heard when I was on jury duty a long time ago. There was another juror who was a postal worker. He said it was his job to examine mail and make sure that people were not trying to re-use stamps. I do not recall the exact conversation - but it included something about any stray bit of ink on a stamp rendering it unusable. He made it sound like it was a serious offense to get ink on stamps.
He was an unusual guy. The case was vehicular homicide. The postal worker was the last juror to join the rest of the jurors in voting to convict. And here was the strangest thing. For some reason he decided to share with us that he had always had very long hair and a beard but he shaved and cut his hair for jury duty - because if he ever had to appear before the same judge - he wanted to disguise his normal appearance. That's very strange.
Nice envelope, Janet - I know Jan and Wrigley will love it.
