Never lick the glue!

A woman was working in a post office in California. One day she licked
the envelopes and postage stamps instead of using sponge. That very day
the lady cut her tongue on the envelope. A week later, she noticed an
abnormal swelling of her tongue. She went to the doctor, and they found
nothing wrong. Her tongue was not sore or anything. A couple of days
later, her tongue started to swell more, and it began to get really
sore, so sore, that she could not eat. She went back to the hospital,
and demanded something be done.

The doctor took an X-ray of her tongue, and noticed a lump. He prepared
her for minor surgery. When the doctor cut her tongue open, a live
roach (cockroach) crawled out. There were roach eggs on the seal of
the envelope. The egg was able to hatch inside of her tongue, because
of her saliva. It was warm and moist......

This is a true story on CNN Andy Hume wrote: Hey, I used to work in an
envelope factory. You wouldn't believe the...things that float around in
those gum applicator trays. I haven't licked an envelope for
years.

To All: I used to work for a print shop (32 years ago) and we were told
NEVER to lick the envelopes. I never understood why until I had to go
into storage and pull out 2500 envelopes that were already printed for a
customer who was doing a mailing and saw several squads of roaches
roaming around inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere. They eat
the glue on the envelopes. I think print shops have a harder time
controlling roaches than a restaurant. I always buy the self sealing
type. Or if need be I use a glue stick to seal one that has the type of
glue that needs to be wet to stick.
