Why new Myanmar stamps don't stick -- :)

Fun -- from a Burma site.

New Myanmar postage stamp not sticking

This laugh comes from JJ at Burma-Myanmar News (via Jeg): The junta in Burma has created a new first-class postal stamp featuring its leaders. The stamp was not sticking to envelopes, which enraged the junta, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing, a special junta commission presented the following findings about why the stamps were not sticking:
1) The stamp is in perfect order.
2) There is nothing wrong with the adhesive.
3) People are spitting on the wrong side.
