Happy Father's Day, from the United States Postal Service

I'm not alone in thinking the USPS Forever Stamps are hideous. While at the local post office, I purchased a pack of beautiful comic stamps and have been saving Spiderman for a special occasion, such as Father's Day.

I picked up a simple card from Target and a 1 cent stamp from the post office (yeah, the Forever stamps would've saved me a trip). The card had a decoration of similar thickness to a shirt button on the front.

A few days ago I received a friendly reminder that a "non-standard thickness" would have a 48% markup over normal price.

Happy Father's day, from the USPS!
