Envelope Glue

Paying bills and licking the flaps of return envelopes today, I noticed how different the glue tastes on each envelope. (It also reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George’s fiancé dies from licking the poisonous glue on their wedding invitations.) Some of the glue is fairly tasteless, while some is quite noxious; like what I imagine licking old rusty pitchfork tines would taste like. But every once in a while, I come across an envelope that has the good stuff;  sort of minty, like toothpaste. I could lick those all day. Um – in theory anyway.
