I have not purchased stamps from my local Post Office in months. I normally buy them from my mail carrier when he delivers my mail.
Today, I visited the Post Office to purchase stamps.
The postal worker behind the counter asked me which stamps I wanted. The variety of stamps were encased in a glass-covered frame on the wall to my right. Hmmm. So many to choose from nowadays. I was a little impatient. I just wanted stamps without a lot of decision making. Like buying toothpaste. At first glance at eye level, I noticed Ronald Reagan. I like most things Presidential and I said, “The Ronald Reagan ones would be nice.”
THEN.
I looked a little higher and there was Gregory Peck. I immediately corrected myself and said, “Oh! Gregory Peck would be better!”
In a moment, I was completely star-struck just staring at the Gregory Peck stamps. I couldn’t even think to carry out my transaction. I caught myself and apologized for being so…smitten over a picture of Gregory Peck on a stamp!
Good grief! I think I even blushed!
The postal worker just giggled.
So yeah, I have always had a teeny-tiny crush on Mr. Peck.
Blame it on Roman Holiday.
I’d choose Gregory Peck over Ronald Reagan on a stamp too.
A person can get their own face printed on stamps in Japan at some Post Offices. I haven’t done it yet because I haven’t actually mailed a letter in years.
… I wouldn’t put Gregory Peck in my header though.
That sounds dirty somehow for some reason. hee hee!
Those Japanese stamps sound cool. I think there is something like that here. The postal system is so sophisticated now.
Yeah, the word Peck, especially in a last name, isn’t very desirable. Kind of like Marvin Gay or Anthony Weiner.
That is so cool that you can print your own stamps! Sort of like printing your own message on your choice of colored M & M’s. What will they think of next?!
LOL!! LOVE that you were so smitten by the photos you lost your train of thought! That’s hysterical and cute beyond words. PS: I think you should buy an extra sheet and frame them. Just because.
Hee hee! I can’t believe that happened to me. I saved one of the stamps and put it in a special place and dated it. Just because.
