Silly Stamps Season

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Bonjour to all the Postal History Boutiques Customers!

You know how much we value your business, derive satisfaction from meeting your every Postal History need, and take pleasure in the long-lasting and trusting relationships we have built up with you over the time it has taken you to read this nonsense.

As we approach Easter, the Postal History Boutique would like to invite you to contribute to its 'Silly Stamps Season.'

If you want to participate in this -- and if you don't Snooky will soon be snapping at your heels -- there are two things that you have to do.

First, you have to post a stamp that you consider to be 'Silly' (however you define it).

Second, your stamp has to be accompanied by a short comment that both demonstrates the silliness of the stamp, and is silly in itself.

An example of one of my favourite silly stamps that was issued in Romania in 1993 is below: it seems to be some sort of worm*. My comment that accompanies it is: "This is the national dish of Romania. It is usually served with boiled rice and cabbage, and washed down with a nice red wine."

Go for it Gang! Show us how silly you can be!

* I have no idea what a 'haemopis caeca' is. I could look it up but wont, in the hope that our Wurmmeister David Stafford can tell us what it is.

Are these sort of leeches unique (specific?) to Romania, or are they found elsewhere?

Keep being silly, please, A&S;
Regards, vVal

This is silly...I mean really silly! It was issued on April's Fool's Day, April 1, 2009.

United States Postal Service...gets silly...this is NOT serious.

And people tell me it is Homer. That's silly!

It is not Homer who wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey.

But he sure does make me laugh!!!! Very silly!
