This was in Chicago last January about 26 stories above the ground... I loved the giant Trump sign flanked by 2 airborne porta-potties... there's hidden meaning there, but I leave it to each one of us to discern its secrets on their own...

It's time for our whenever we feel like it monthly Public Service Announcement here at TVGuy... today we tackle the ever increasing insanity that is the world of stamps...
Here with more is TVGuy...
Hey everyone, TVGuy here! You know how some people really spend a lot of time thinking about what kind of stamps they'd like to put on an envelope, then spend 25 minutes in line at the post office deciding between the ones with the little yellow duckies (so cute!) or maybe the proud American Flag waving in the breeze (so Patriotic!) or the basket of kittens napping in the sun (so adorable!)....
Here's a little secret... just from me to you...Nobody cares.
Seriously.
At all.
No one looks at stamps. I mean, nobody. We just open the envelope and toss it away without giving it even a nanosecond of interest. And you know your pretty little stamp with ponies or rainbows on it? It's been covered by the post office with a series of squiggly lines and ugly black ink smears...
Because They Don't Care About Stamps Either.
So the next time you think standing in line looking at 47 varieties of stamps is a good idea while the 329 people stand behind you waiting because even though the federal government takes in 1 quadzillion dollars in taxes they can only afford one, yes ONE 87 YEAR OLD POSTAL WORKER BEHIND THE COUNTER EVEN DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON...
It's not. Okay?
Thanks.
Your friend,
TVGuy
(as a further public service, feel free to substitute "Checks" for "Stamps" anywhere in the above statements.. if you think the Bank cares whether your check has Homer Simpson or Mount Rushmore on it... they don't, as long as you pay the extra 12 bucks each order to perpetuate the myth...)

Casey: I find that when I need a stamp there's never one around. This is back when I used to write letters. When I used to write letters, I could never find a stamp.
Dana: Hey, can you guess what I'm thinking now?
Casey: That no one gives a damn about me and my history with stamps?
Dana: Bullseye!
