 Man buys $8,000 worth of stamps to use forever http://www.pennlive.com/n...amp;coll=1&thispage=1
A guy walks into a post office and buys $8,000 worth of stamps.
Sounds like the start of something, but there's no punch line.
Someone walked into the post office in Camp Hill the other day and bought $8,000 worth of Forever Stamps.

Totally. He'd get as much a return on his investment in a savings account, and he wouldn't have to lug $8000 worth of stamps around. (Yeah, I actually ran the numbers. Now who's the moran? I guess it's me.) |

I know the "rest of the story."
See, this guy made a bet with some guy named Professor over the Beagles and the playoffs. He lost and had to send Professor a dozen Pro V1s. Thing is, he wrapped them in so much packing tape the postage ran to $20,000.
LOL, but you should have seen the look on the old Professor's face when it showed up.

19,512 stamps? What are stamps anyway? No kidding. I was going to put that I don't think I could use that many in a lifetime. I think the most I've used is 20 over 7 months - but that was when I was writing a letter every other week. And I don't think I've used 3 stamps since. lol |

Maroon. But at least he won't have to run out to the post office for stamps anytime soon!  |
