Post Office Increases Holiday Stress

I asked for postage stamps at a local drugstore recently. The bighaired cashier rang up the purchase, pulled a packet of stamps out of her cash drawer, and chirped, "Madonna and child!"

Non-plussed, I asked if there were any other type of stamp available. She semi-huffed, "It is Christmas."

I replied, "I don't do Christmas," and left with my overly religious stamps.

Then I went a few doors down, to a real post office, and bought Chanukah stamps. I figure the two designs cancel each other out.
