NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Return To Sender
The US Postal Service recently issued new stamps depicting classic American motorcycles. Unfortunately, the commemorative postmark on the first day cover – an envelope with the stamp affixed to it that is cancelled on the first day of issue – had a typo: "motorcyle." New orders for first-day envelopes will have a corrected postmark, but collectors who want the misspelled postmark can ask for it in writing when they place their orders.
The Stiletto suggests a new stamp honoring proofreaders.
