MAHINDA'S STAMP

In order to commemorate his one year in office President Mahinda
called up the Post master general and instructed him to issue a stamp
with a close up of his smiling face on it. Delegently the PMG complied
and produced a stamp for public issue with Mahindas face on it, photo
taken by Mahindas photographer. Mahinda thought it was a great
portrait of himself and was proud of it. After some time when the
stamp was in circulation Mahinda was contacted by a close aid who told
him that there were complaints that the stamp was not pasting
properly. Stamps were coming out of the envelopes when mail was being
franked at the post offices.
Then Mahinda summoned the CID chief and instructed him to investigate
if there was any sabotage by the stamp manufacturer. After a very
exhaustive investigation the CID chief reported
" Sir We have investigated and found that the stamp was of very good
quality. The problem Sir is that the people are spitting on the wrong
side of it".
