"Yes, regarding the 41-cent "forever" stamp, can you assure me that no matter how long the stamp is hel onto before using, that the stamp will be accepted for mailing a first-class letter of one-ounce or less," asked the wondrous Obbop, enunciating his words clearly and distinctly, knowing he was attempting communication with a lackey of the postal system (USPS).
Responding, the addle-minded one told of the two 41 cent stamps and how the 41-cent stamp will be good for when the future rate increases.
Your author, the annoying Obbop, thanked the blubbery brained one then restated the question, specifically requesting that ONLY the "forever" stamp is the one being inquired about and that ALL that was being sought was verification that, yes, indeed, even if the "forever" stamp was used, let's say, 20 years from today, that said "forever" stamp would allow the letter to be delivered with no additional fee(s).
As before, I, the Obbop unit, spoke clearly and at a pace to ensure maximum understanding of the not-too-complicated question.
The mental midget, the product of America's educational system, responded, starting with how the 41-cent stamp actually costs more than the current letter rate of 37-cents but that it would meet the future expected rate increase of 41-cents but that if the 41-cent rate ever increased then additional postage would be needed.
The brainless tumor then ceased speaking and smiled.
Old Coot, me, wondrously patient with a creature that Stalin would likely have taken outside and shot for general principles, smiled back then waited, waited for the ANSWER TO MY CLEARLY-STATED QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When, after a suitable interval passed and no further information was divulged from what is likely a human of average intelligence, which isn't nuthin' to brag about, I, the gluttonous greasy food loving Obbop, decided to try one last time to communicate with the mental defective in front of me.
Please, ignore the 41-cent stamp that is not claimed by your organization to be a "forever stamp." Now, there IS a 41-cent stamp AND, ALSO, in ADDITION to the 41-cent stamp, the USPS DOES offer a FOREVER STAMP costing 41-cents that will actually, with no small print and no exceptions, allow me to mail a first-class letter weighing one ounce or less for as long as I have those FOREVER STAMPS in my possession and that I will NEVER be asked for additional postage, is that statement correct?
The befuddled waste of oxygen absorbing idiocy stood there looking at me. After a couple moments the slack-jowled yokel drew upon some internal source of energy to overcome the flacidity of her midewed mind to proclaim:
"It should."
Your resident Coot, cantankerous Coot, sickened by modern American society in general and ignorant sheep-like sluggards of all types but especially those who dwell within any of the bureaucracies and their parasitic drain upon the body politic, stood there; appalled. Wanting to scream in outrage but knowing that doing so could draw the wrath of the jack-booted thug lackeys of another bureaucracy, your home-spun Obbop mumbled a "Thanks," and departed.
And life continues on the speck orbiting the BIG bright shiny thing in the sky with the billions of scampering virus-like bipeds infesting the speck.
