Mistaken Identity

I went to the post office yesterday to place a package in the post and to buy stamps for my Christmas cards. I like going to the downtown post office on Saturdays because they aren't usually busy and it's easy to get to.While I was asking the clerk for three books of Madonna stamps, there was a lady was standing off at the counter next to us. She commented, "You mean she's not even dead and she has a stamp." The clerk and I looked at her and I was lost somewhere in time trying to make sense of what she said because it seemed to stand still for a minute.
As he handed me my stamps I looked at her, held up the stamps and said, "No, THE Madonna, not Madonna."
We all had a good laugh over that one. Hope you do too.
Ciao!
