The Healing Power of Stamps
Like a fine Cuban cigar or a dry martini, self-inking stamps make a bold statement. They say you are a man -- or a woman -- of discerning taste and impeccable sophistication. They also say you are someone who appreciates a simpler time and more reliable tools. Sure, we can all reach for an iPhone and get online, but with something as a one-dimensional as a self-inking stamp, there's only one thing you can do: use it.
Nothing says, "beat it" and "move on" like the clunk of a self-inking stamp. Long the tool of the DMV and passport office, these spring-loaded beauties are perfectly designed to get the message across. You either pass or you fail. You're either accepted or rejected. Stamps can help us conjure a simpler, more black and white time.
If you fork over the nickels and dimes for a nice set of colored ink pads, you can work on points for subtle innuendo. That's not to say that all you can ever expect from a stamp is the same old, boring thing. Sure, a big fat, red "FAIL" is no fun, but what about a big fat, pink "PASS?" Ah, the mind boggles.
Now, let's say you don't happen to be a public notary -- and you've never worked at the DMV -- you can still have hours of fun with stamps. Seriously: hours. How about something like a smiley face? Or a rainbow? Or better yet, why not turn your erratic signature into a perfect, reliable stamp? Nothing looks more crisp that a stamped signature. It's what Dave Draper would do.
Now, you can shift gears and opt to invest in a half dozen stamps as a gift. Your old Aunt Sally loves paper crafts -- why not indulge her proclivities and finally get invited back to Thanksgiving dinner. What you did to her kitty was unforgivable. Feeding her from the table. Tsk, tsk. Let the healing power of stamps bring you and old Aunt Sally back together.
