The PM's Commemorative Stamp

When the PM completed more than a decade and half at the helm, he wanted a special postage stamp issued with his picture on it. And so he instructed the postmaster general, stressing that the new stamp should be of international quality and standard.

The stamps were duly released, and the PM was pleased. But within a couple of days of the release of the stamp, he began hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and became furious. He called the chief of police and ordered him to fully investigate the matter.

The IGP checked the matter out at several post offices and then reported the problem to the PM:

"Sir, the stamp is really of interX-Mozilla-Status: 0009standard. The problem is, the citizens are spitting on the wrong side."
