Envelopes and Stamps

Envelopes and Stamps

A woman was working in a post Office in California . One day she licked the

envelopes and postage stamps instead of using a sponge.

That very day the lady found a cut on her tongue. A week later, she noticed an abnormal swelling of her tongue.

She went to the doctor, and they found nothing wrong..

Her tongue was not sore or anything.. A couple

of days later, her tongue started to swell more, and it began

to get really sore, so sore, that she could not eat. She

went back to the hospital, and demanded something be done.

The doctor took an x-ray of her tongue and noticed a

lump. He prepared her for minor surgery. When

The doctor cut her tongue open, a live cockroach crawled out!!!!

There were cockroach eggs on the seal of the

Envelope. The egg was able to hatch inside of

her tongue, because of her saliva, which was warm and moist...

This is a true story reported on CNN!

factory. You wouldn't believe the....things that float around in

those gum applicator trays. I haven't licked

an envelope for years!'

I used to work for a print shop(32 years ago), and we

were told NEVER to lick the envelopes. I never understood

why until I had to go into storage and pull out 2500

envelopes that were already printed and saw several squads

of cockroaches roaming around inside a couple of

boxes with eggs everywhere. They eat the glue

on the envelopes.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS!

After reading this you will never lick

Another envelope or stamp again.
