Later they were made of paper and a glue added to the back, like modern stickers. When first introduced they were disliked by some, who objected to having other peoples' spit mailed to them :P but they were gradually accepted because they were quicker and easier to use than sealing wax.Marissa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248406475808085694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-72891714628305790552010-01-20T18:04:24.024-05:002010-01-20T18:04:24.024-05:00Those made me giggle.

I think almost all of them can be applied to modern life, especially forgetting to wind your watch/set your alarm clock and leaving things in taxis.
