From March 6, 1992

IF THE conflict in my household is indicative of conditions elsewhere, the choice of an Elvis stamp threatens severe national disunion. As a compromise, I propose a series of Elvis stamps. In addition to Elvis young and Elvis old, the Postal Service could do stamps in different denominations that show Elvis on pot, Elvis on cocaine, Elvis on speed, Elvis on alcohol, Elvis passed out, and Elvis dead.

For those who refuse to believe The King is dead, we could have a series of Elvis-sightings stamps: Elvis in a laundromat, Elvis in a 7-Eleven, Elvis with Michael Jackson, and Elvis on board a UFO.

What a great country.
