A group of unicorns is called a blessing........ (or a hallucination depending on your point of view)

So when I saw those three last night was that a large enough group that I was blessed with a blessing?

If you saw three unicorns stairless, that would certainly have been a blessing. 8)

I've never heard of stairless unicorns, I guess they must live on the ground floor?

During World War II, bakers in the United States were ordered to stop selling sliced bread for the duration of the war on January 18, 1943. Only whole loaves were made available to the public. It was never explained how this action helped the war effort.

Clearly explained: Sliced bread - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"the ready-sliced loaf must have a heavier wrapping than an unsliced one if it is not to dry out." It was also intended to counteract a rise in the price of bread, caused by the Office of Price Administration's authorization of a ten percent increase in flour prices.

Ahh . . . collective nouns. My favorite is a Murder of Crows. Perhaps a Drunkenship of Clowders or a Parliament of Owls.

Ah! But as a philatelist I bet you rarely ruin a stamp by licking it, so where is your proof?

How about. . . A Promise of Barmen. Perhaps a Blackening of Shoemakers or a Superfluity of Nuns?

I send the odd approvals in envelopes franked with old stamps. Just like most dealers have always done. We lick plenty of old stamps and no parasites in Bob's body.

Just the Tapeworms I use to melt the pounds away. Bought them--Burt, Bieber and Ernie--from a pitchman on a late night Infomercial.

No parasites in the glue, sorry.

As for ruining stamps by licking them . . . you are correct. I only collect MNH.
