Something to think about!! EWWW
My cousin sent this to me in an E-mail i thought it made a good entry...kinda gross huh?
Reasons Not To Lick Envelopes
I used to work for an envelope company. Our plant supervisor used to
work in the Chicago plant and told us not to lick the envelopes because they
would often find dead rats at the bottom of the glue barrel (after thousands
of envelopes had been glued and shipped). EEWW!
I work in a factory and we have 2 employees who used to work in an
envelope factory. They told me that when the machine jams up, they use
whatever water is handy to thin out the glue. This includes water that they
just mopped the floor with. Since then, I've avoided licking envelopes...
If you lick your envelopes.....You won't anymore!!!
A woman was working in a post office in California. One day she licked
the envelopes and postage stamps instead of using a 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, but 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 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 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 reported on CNN.

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.
After reading this you will never lick another envelope or stamp ever
again.
Have a nice day, & keep your tongues where they belong!
