Mr. Stupid A man lived in the countryside. People in the town gave him the nickname "Mr. Stupid" because he always said "Stupid!" to whomever he met in his daily life. One Monday morning, he purchased something at a store but the shop asked him to fill in two forms for some reason. He said, "Stupid! This is just a waste of time!" The following day, he visited a division in a government office to get a certificate. An officer requested that he provide another document which he will receive from another division in the same building. Again, he said, "Stupid! It's just waste of paper! Why don't you share my information electronically?" In this way, he said "Stupid" to people every day. Sunday morning came. He attended his church. The minister spoke his message based on the passage for the day. In the middle of his sermon, the minister said to the people, "Whomever says "Stupid!" to his brother, he will be i

Odd Postage Prices In 2019, Japan Postal Service increased some prices of the domestic postage. For a card, the postage price increased from 62 Yen to 63 Yen, and for a regular envelope, from 82 Yen to 84 Yen. I really don’t like these amounts not because these are expensive, but because these are odd amounts. I have to buy additional stamps, which are 1 Yen and 2 Yen because I still have many 62 Yen and 82 Yen stamps at home. I wish that the Japan Postal Service would increase the prices to 90 Yen for both a card and envelope but not change those prices for many years. Alternatively, they should sell Forever Stamps in the same way of the United States Postal Service. Menu Japanese 半端な切手代 2019年、日本郵便は国内郵便料金 の 一部 を値上げしました。 郵送料金は、葉書用が６２円から６３円に、普通封筒は８２円から８４円にそれぞれ値上げされました。 私はそれらの金額が本当好きではないのですが、それは別に高いからではなくて、金額が中途半端だという理由からです。 自宅に62円と82円の切手がまだたくさんあるため、 追加で 1円と2円の切手を買う必要があるのです。 私は日本郵政が葉書と封筒の両方用に値段を90円に上げて、その価格を何年間も変えないことを願います。 あるいは、彼らはUSPSみたいにフォーエバー・スタンプを販売するべきです。 Menu Words and Phrases Od
