Today, I was talking with my friend, Lisa, about how the number of visits to my blog has dropped dramatically over the past few months, and how I felt like I needed a real "grabber" to post about. she suggested that I post about how I always seal envelopes with tape because I don't trust the adhesive on the backs of envelopes to hold up during transport.
Now if that's not a "grabber" I don't know what is. I'll do anything to boost the ol' ratings.
I really don't trust that glue.

I hope you're prepared for the slew of traffic this sensationalism is about to dump on this here blog. I'm not sure you've really thought this through...
i was being a brat (asyouwellknow!), but i still like this post.
I don't EVER lick envelopes due to another terrible reality. My youth pastor once told this story about a woman who licked an envelope, she also had a cut on her tongue at the time. After awhile, her tongue grew quite large. And it turned out, she had gotten cockroach eggs into her tongue from the envelope glue.
Urban myth, or true story, I'm not sure. But since high school, I will NOT lick an envelope. Ask Brian.
Totally false. Took about five seconds to disprove.

Ombudsman at large, Steve Maxon. I love it!!!
I have never, ever trusted the glue. When I placed that card in the mail for Sarah last week, and hadn't found any tape to reinforce what I consider to be a very weak union of my saliva and some dried adhesive, it was with great reservation that I mailed it still.
I know it arrived, though, because it "made Josh laugh out loud".

I always knew deep down it's false, but why chance it?! If Brian isn't around to seal the envelopes for me, and my handy dabber is no where to be found, I use a wet Q-tip. I will NOT, under ANY circumstances put my tongue to that nasty glue. Gross.
