Never pay for mail (old but always works)

[Craked]

Postal chiselers used to mail letters unstamped in the knowledge that they would be delievered anyway--postage due to the recipient. It took a niggardly
person to mail personal letters this way, but many people did it on bill payments. So the post office changed its policy. It stopped delivering
letters without stamps. A letter with a stamp--even a one-cent stamp--is delivered (postage due if need be). A letter with no stamp is returned to the
sender.

Naturally, this had just opened up a new way of cheating. Letters can be maileed for free by switching the positions of the delivery address and the
return address. If there is no stamp on the envelope, it will be "returned"-- that is, delivered to the address in the upper left corner--which is where the sender wanted it to go in the first place. Unlike under the old system, the letter is not postage-due. At most the recipient gets a stamped purple reminder that "the post office does not deliver mail without postage."

Another one ;D

The increasing cost of postage to mail letters and packages is bringing down our standard of living. To remedy this deplorable situation, some counter control measures can be applied.

For example, if the stamps on a letter are coated with Elmer's Glue by the sender, the cancellation mark will not destroy the stamp the Elmer/s drives to form an almost invisible coating that protects the stamps from the cancellation ink. Later, the receiver of the letter can remove the cancellation mark with water and reuse the stamps. Furthermore, ecological saving will also result from recycling the stamps. Help save a tree.

The glue is most efficently applied with a brush with stiff, short bristles. Just dip the brush directly into the glue and spread it on evenly, covering the entire surface of the stamp. It will dry in about 15 minutes.

For mailing packages, just follow the same procedure as outlined above; however, the package should be weighed and checked to make sure that it has the correct amount of postage on it before it is taken to the Post Office.

Removing the cancellation and the glue from the stamps can be easily accomplished by soaking the stamps in warm water until they loat free from the paper. The stamps can then be put onto a paper towel to dry. Processing stamps in large batches saves time too. Also, it may be helpful to write the word 'Elmer' at the top of the letter (not on the envelope) to cue the receiving party in that the stamps have been protected with the glue.

We all know that mailing packages can be expensive. And we also know that the handicapped are sometimes discriminated against in jobs. The Government, being the generous people they are, have given the blind free postal service.

Simply address you envelope as usual, and make one modification. In the corner where the stamp would go, write in (or stamp) the words 'FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND". Then drop you package or letter in one of the blue fedral mailboxes. DO NOT TAKE THE LETTER TO THE POST OFFICE, OR LEAVE IT IN YOUR MAILBOX.

Sounds very nice of the government to do this, right? Well, they aren't that nice. The parcel is sent library rate, that is below third class. It may take four to five days to send a letter to just the next town.

The only problem with the first one is that you can't mail things long distances because the post people would figure out that the box it was posted at doesn't quite add up to the return address.............but for close distances it works great.
