When an unpopular President completed his presidency, he wanted a special postage stamp issued with his picture on it.
He stressed that it should be of international quality.
The stamps were duly released and the former President was pleased. But within a couple of days of the release of the stamp, he began hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and he was furious.
So he ordered an investigation into the matter. The investigator checked the problem out at several post offices and then reported it to the former President. The results revealed that there was nothing wrong with the quality of the stamp.
The problem was that people were spitting on the wrong side.
