Thread: Do you lick........................

If you lick your envelopes...You won't
anymore!!!!

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 cut her tongue on the
envelope.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 roach
eggs on the seal of the envelope. The egg was able to h atch
inside of her tongue, because of her saliva. It was warm and
moist...This is a true story reported on CNN.

You wouldn't believe the things that float around in
those gum applicator trays. I haven't licked an envelope for years!"

3) To All: 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
envelops that were already printed for a customer who was
around inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere. They
eat the glue on the envelopes.
I think print shops have a harder time controlling roaches than
a restaurant.
I always buy the self sealing type. Or if need be I use a glue
stick to seal one that has the type of glue that needs to be wet
to stick.
