Catching Covid off of stamps that people licked with their diseased tongues...could be deadly. 😵
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Yikes.......funnily enough, I have stopped licking envelopes. @cherokeepatti

@pennynoodles I think hepatitis might be possible but not Covid on a stamp. I was just kidding.

Your collection could become unhinged 😂
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
I AM unhinged! @MissTaken
MissTaken · 36-40, F
@pennynoodles I had heard that but felt it would be rude to mention it 😂😂. Just joking 🙂

lololol@MissTaken

Oh, the list of dangers is endless, since who knows who or what went into contact with the stamps, or one could breathe a stamp and choke to death, or how one could go flying and lead to one's own demise by a random accident...and that is not taking into account the supernatural dangers that could be attached to a stamp....
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Shit...... you make some valid observations...... I think I might stick to my other hobby. Bungeyjumping.@OnePatheticClown

You'll get bored to death!

Paper cuts from handling them, and eyestrain from reading all the fine print.

This is not a hobby for the faint of heart!
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Wow....you are right. I hadn't thought about those. @DrWatson
Poppies · 61-69, F
Maybe you could cut yourself with scissors or razor blade. Or burn yourself with steam.
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
I don't usually shave my legs whilst stamp collecting but thank you for the tip incase I ever do 🤣🤣@Poppies
You can get a paper cut from the album...I know!
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Aw. there there oh furry one@TheSirfurryanimalWales
Tracos · 51-55, M

pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Oo yes, scarred me for life. @Tracos

I'll be sure to only sort them in a shaded room. @Montanaman
pennynoodles · 56-60, F

Zonuss · 46-50, M
Cutting your finger.
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
getting your tounge stuck to the stamp.
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Oh god, I hadn't thought about that. Thank you for the warning. @Justenjoyit

Dangerous cuts from sharp stamp edges.

You could be kidnapped or murdered by other collectors who want your rare and valuable stamps.

It isn't safe really. Take up mountaineering or heroin instead.
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Kidnap! Whew, hadn't thought of that one. Heroin it is then @SW-User
