A Charlie Brown Christmas has been a holiday TV tradition for five decades, so in honor, the U.S. Postal Service has issued a series of commemorative stamps.
Odd thing is, they all say FOREVER/usa with a strike through the word forever.
Anybody got any ideas as to why Forever would have a strike through it? Is this an in your face warning or is there something I'm missing here?

Uh...maybe to prevent printing and getting a free 'forever' stamp?

That's a bit weird I can't find it explained in any of the news articles about it.

A "sample" stamped in the middle of it would work too

What's 'forever' doing on the stamp anyway?

It designates a stamp that will always be good for 1st class postage regardless of rate hikes (which come frequently) that take place after you bought it.

Oh.

Who the hell allowed certain elite people (who think they're sh#t doesnt stink) to become word and thought police like evil Gestapo in Nazi Berlin?!

Well, that clears up a whole bunch of shit in my mind.

Hey i use to have my hair cut like ^ that ^ minus the all mighty shimmering and magnificent allah commanded muslim beard, around 1975, ha haa haaa (*=*)

I hope you've changed hairstyles since then. The kids sweater is what got my proverbial goat. Sending a kid off to school wearing that is indicative of parents who don't want him coming home that evening.

Well from the perspective of around half the worlds population, the united states is the great satan, not that we worship satan over here, muslims do that, we just idolize greed and fame and sports and over rated talentless super slut hollywood stars, walking talking barbie dolls...

The USPS is trying to stay in the green they may be cheaply crossing off something they will lose money on long term. We have much bigger probs coming up than stamps and wasting brain cells to go figure.
