Best line of the day, so far

“On May 13, 1918, the first 24-cent stamps featuring the Curtiss Jenny biplane—the aircraft chosen to inaugurate the U.S.’s new air mail service—reached post offices.  Collectors heard that some of the stamps could be rare ‘inverts,’ so they fanned out to find them.  Some were successful.  Today the stamps are worth approximately one bazillion dollars.  Or, as it’s known overseas, a week’s stay at a cheap European hotel.”

One thought on “Best line of the day, so far”

  1. Another good line, from ESPN.com:
