US Postal Service plans a Steve Jobs commemorative stamp in 2015

It looks like USPS will release a Steve Jobs postage stamp. I love the idea, I only hope they use a healthier looking image of Steve, rather than a frail end-days visage.

Of course the jokes are starting to fly:

The stamps will cost twice as much as a regular stamp.

The stamps will be laced with LSD.

etc…


what do you guys think? any jokes?

Stamp will only work on 10% of the letters.


Thank you, thank you, I'm here all day.

I hope they'll make the stamps look so good you'll want to lick them. That would be a nice homage to Steve.

It's pretty cool that they are doing this. I'd like to get some just to have when they come out.

Stamp 1.0 will be released in 2015, with Stamp 2.0 very soon after. The USPS will not offer refunds.

I'm pretty sure the stamp will be half the size of a normal stamp and only work on special envelopes.

Well, it could have a special shape, for instance. Shapped like a bitten Apple for example.

Obviously it should be a rectangle with rounded corners.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Sorta like Steve Jobs, he got 40% thinner... hey could be worse, they could make an anorexic statue of him...





Oh wait, they already did.


Translation: I think the statue is fugly, I think the stamp is weird, and I am not dissing anorexics. If you thought that I was dissing anorexics, I was not, go re-read my post again.

It's a 49 cent stamp, but it'll cost you a dollar to lick it.

I hope so - everyone I've spoken with despises the thing.

Anyone who gives the statue a noogie should get a free stamp.

If you put the envelope in the mailbox improperly, the stamp will yell and you and fire you from society.
