I had to chuckle when I read my USPS Informed Delivery email this morning -- the below "crash" mail was making its way toward my mailbox. The brainchild of New Hampshire stamp dealer Harry Tong, the post card was promoting his booth (#66) at NAPEX this weekend.

Those have been going around on Facebook for a long time, no doubt the work of a bitter EU supporter !! I haven't seen any 'stamps' to back up the artwork like those out the USA from those equally bitter defeated folk after the last Presidential election.
Who said Philately and Politics don't mix !!

Well, the previous 2 jokes went down better than I thought. Let's try a couple more. These two are by Martin Honeysett who was a cartoonist for Punch magazine

Here's a stamp from the Netherlands that has always been one of my favorites (my aunt gave me the t-shirt). If I remember correctly, it translates as "little tap Jack".

You need to put another stamp on this parcel as it’s too heavy But another stamp will just make it heavier

Did you hear that joke about the letter that didn't have a stamp? — No. — Nevermind, you wouldn't get it.

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband, “Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.” “What?” said the puzzled groom. “How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?”
“Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up.
Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it .
Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.
Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was… God! I miss him!
But now that I’ve married you, I’m really excited!” “Good,” said the new husband, “but, why?”
“You’re a lawyer. This time I know I’m gonna get screwed!”

A police officer says to his new "dumb" employee: "We need to monitor the post office." "I want to know how many people are in the house." "You watch, I'll be back soon."
The employee observes... Five people leave the house. After half an hour, 3 people go back inside.
Then the superior comes and asks: “How much people are in the post office?”
Says the policeman: “If two more go in, there will be nobody inside.”

A man sits in the cinema and watches a movie about a postal robbery. A car chase ensues. The gangsters flee towards the harbor and the police car pursues them. Then the man says to the man sitting next to him: "Now, watch out. The criminals turn off the harbor wall and the police car drives straight ahead and falls into the water." His neighbor says: "I do not believe that!" "Because, I'm a police officer too." Says the man: "OK, then let's bet for ten dollars." The two make the bet. The film continues... .... The criminals turn off the harbor wall and the police car drives straight ahead and falls into the water... Says the policeman: "OK, here's your 10 dollars." Says the man: "Keep the money, I've already seen the film and knew what happens next." Says the policeman: “Whatever, take the $10.” "I've also already seen the film... ... but I would never have thought that my colleagues would make the same mistake twice."

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me." And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a moment!" She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked it and took the casket down and they rolled it away.
So her friend said, "Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him?" “I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check... If he can cash it, then he can spend it."

A man is a skydiver. He jumps and his parachute doesn't open. He tries everything...no success. He falls and falls... ..suddenly another man flies towards him from below. He calls: "My parachute won't open. Can you help me!" The other man calls back: "I don't understand anything about that... .. I'm a blasting master."
