Ariel Sharon wants a postage stamp issued with his picture on it before he is kicked out of office. So, he instructs his people, stressing that it should be of high International quality.
The stamps are created, printed, and released.
Sharon is very pleased.
But within a few days of release of the stamp, he begins hearing complaints that the stamp is not sticking, and he became infuriated.
He calls the people responsible and orders them to investigate the matter. They check the matter out at several post offices, and they report the problem to Sharon.
The report states, “There is nothing wrong with the quality of the stamp. The problem is people are spitting on the wrong side.”
There is a similar joke on in India with Bipasha Basu exchanging places with Ariel Sharon...and the joke is tht the posts with such stamps on...r not reaching the destained coz they r stuck ,the wrong side up as instead of licking the back of the stamp...ppl have started licking the front side.
