U.S. Post Office Reduces Cost of Stamps to 1 Cent ************************* In an effort to defeat the threat of email communication, the U.S. Postal Service has decided to slash the price of first class postage to 1 cent. All mail under five pounds will be delivered for that same 1 cent stamp. Postal spokesman, Phil Morgan said "Sure it seems like we're giving away the store, but we're going to make it up on volume!" All classes of mail will be reduced to the 1-cent rate including registered mail, express mail, and priority mail. Mr. Morgan added, "We've suffered enough at the hands of these "so-called high-tech wizards" and we're tired of taking a beating. The shoe will be on the other foot now!" The only exempt material will be computer software which must be sent at the old rate.
