New meaning to 'tramp stamp'

I love when typos lead to embarrassing stories in national news:

People calling a federal phone number to order $15 duck stamps --required to hunt migratory waterfowl-- are instead reaching "Intimate Connections" and are being enticed to "talk only to the girls that turn you on" for $1.99.

The mix-up came after a printing error on the carrier card for the stamps; instead of reading 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724. The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, while the second number spells out 1-800-TRAMP24.

You know, I'm glad they didn't try to spell out "duck" with that phone number - it might have ended up even raunchier...

Proceeds from the cards go toward purchasing waterfowl habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Officials said reprinting the cards would cost $300,000 and it likely would not be remedied. Those dialing by letter would reach the correct number and the typo was only printed on self-adhesive versions of the stamp.

The rogue elf who stole Christmas

Dear little brat,

You're getting nothing for Christmas. I hate you and I will kill your dog when I visit your house this year.

Love, Santa

Okay, so maybe that's a little exaggerated, but children in Canada who wrote to Santa this year have been receiving some naughty letters in return, maybe like that one above.

11,000 Canada Post employees and volunteers participate in a "Write to Santa" program and deliver millions of letters to children who sent letters to the North Pole, which has a special H0H 0H0 Canadian postal code.

But at least 10 nasty letters have been sent out to children in Ottawa this year by, what the Canada Post is calling, a "rogue elf." Until the perp is caught, the service has been shut down.
