This new Eid stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. The new background color and calligraphy on this stamp will help customers and postal clerks distinguish the Forever stamp from the original Eid stamp, which was first issued in 2001 with gold calligraphy on a blue background.

None of us can take it anymore yet more and more is going to be shoved down our throats. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

First, as ~Jay~ so astutely pointed out, the stamp pictured is a custom zazzle stamp. Secondly, you know this assertion was cut and pasted out of a chain email which was over a year old since the first class rate for a 1oz letter has been 45 cents since January of this year. Thirdly, there IS a real EID holiday stamp, but it was originally issued in 2001... the holiday season immediately following 9/11 during W.'s reign. |
