And it was pronounced so distinctly: Ay door is ay jar (ay, not uh jar).

Don't put the stamp there. Put it in the lower left corner, the lower right corner, anyplace but directly over the recipient's address. The rule is that there has to be postage on the front of the envelope, according to my USPS neighbor.
or break up the total postage into multiple stamps, and sprinkle them randomly over the envelope, and make the USPS cancel each one separately. I think they may even be on the back of the envelope, so long as the address can be read.

...and then we wonder why the good folks at the USPS go postal...
(is that a global expression?)

thats what we do with "birthday cards" and other fun mailings.. we put on a wide varity of stamps.. 1 cents, 2 cents, what ever.. so that the required postage is made up of a motley crew.. it started when i was i a child, grandparent's tried to interest us in stamp collecting.. and thought we would enjoy getting an assortment of stamps.. we did, even if we never started collecting them! US over seas postage is 60 cents.. some times i use 10 one-cent, 10 two-cent, a ten-cent, and a twenty-cent.. 22 stamps! if fills a large percentage of the envelope!

Hey! I only tried it once, as a college sophomore, to see what would happen. It was of course classically sophomoric, but some would say I've matured just a bit since then!

zactly what ofTroy said... if you crowd stamps into the traditional upper right corner... they cancell it automaticaly anyway and usually miss a few so you can reuse them... I mean, collect them  JazzO - Put on yer stripped "PJ's" with the number over the pocket... were going for a long walk...

actually its not mail fraud... but your utility can refuse them.. so your bill won't be paid.. Con(solidated) Ed(ison) of NY does refuse all postage due mail, no matter what the return address (but you can pay for no fee over the phone.. and if you call from work...)
here in the US they are inclined to throw you out of the hosptial the minute you wake up from recovery, so if you send a get well to the hosptial, & you want the person to get it...put on a stamp, and their home address as a return. then the post office will in effect forward it for you.
(when toll road were cheaper, we sometimes would pay the toll for the car behind us.. (total strangers..) and tell the toll collector a story.. then the driver behind us, would try to track us down.. great fun.)
