Wednesday Essay Contest #1, again

If you are not familiar with our "Wednesday Essay Contest #n" featurette, please write an essay on why you didn't read and digest this post.

Last week's essay assignment was to write two or three paragraphs on the matter of licked stamp adhesives as compared with the pre-adhesive sort. Which do you prefer?

And the winner of history's first Supreme Aglet Essay Contest is...

...no one!

Listen Agleteers, you might think it's funny to submit responses like...

I don't lick stamps, I eat them. Ha ha.

...or...

Why did the colonists throw vegetables on the big envelope-shaped stage? Because they didn't want to see the Stamp Act!

...but this hardly expands your mind or otherwise makes you a better person.

Each of you who conspired to disrupt this important endeavor by submitting facetious entries for the Essay Contest will receive a referral notice indicating your misconduct.

I shall give you one more week to right this wrong, and write not wrong. <chortle!> So once again, licked or adhesive--choose and write, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
