I like the taste of stamps.

Not to go too far off the TP4 deep end here, but goddamn licking stamps and envelopes is awesome. I love that taste. It's too bad the USPS has moved on to stickers so I have to go on eBay and buy vintage stamps to get my fix

I saw this and thought I could relate myself to it... Nah, it is just too weird and dark to lick old stamps instead of a lollypop.

Remember, this is the guy who said:

We have diet pop. Diet pop is water but with flavour and texture and ****. It's perfectly fine for you and doesn't even kill your teeth. And it's 71 cents for a ****ing two liter
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

I don't even remember the last time I licked a stamp since they're all stickers now. The glue on envelopes is slightly sweet, but I'm always afraid I'll get a papercut on my tongue.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.

This literally happened to me today; I sent three letters and my tongue has a papercut near the tip. It weirdly doesn't hurt much but I am worried about infection.

Luckily the inside of the mouth heals quite rapidly, so you'll be ok. You can always use some mouth wash or hydrogen peroxide if you're really worried.

I see someone has found some 70s dealer's LSD stash that accidentally ended up in circulation.

Unfortunately, there is a tipping point. I have a number of old books that I don't even want to touch any more due to skin sensitivities.
