Oh EEWWWWWWWWW!!!!

We took a tour of an envelope printer today and we were treated to lunch from the sales dude.  It was nice but I felt a little out of place in this really nice restaurant in a T-shirt and jeans. (this week is casual week for $5bucks.  Don’t ask me why because frankly I haven’t really paid much attention to all the shenanigans)

 

While on the tour I witnessed something that is just as horrible as horrible can get.  On my very first tour about 6 or 7 years ago of an envelope converter/printer I saw the same thing and I haven’t been the same since.  I mean, habits have CHANGED.

 

So what am I talking about? 

 

You know when you are mailing something and it has glue on the flap that you lick and then press on 8,457 times to get it to stick?  Well in order to get that glue on the flap it has to be dumped into a tray.  The tray that holds the glue is pretty much the most filthiest thing I have ever seen in my life.

 

Seriously, licking something that comes out of these trays?  Well, this isn’t an option.  Ever. Plus infinity.

 

For the sake of your health, your family’s health and anyone within 87 feet of you – tape or wet-sponge your envelopes shut.

 

I mean it.
