Fandom Post Office: Saturday [29.09]
The post office was its usual Saturday self. Not Tiddles was stalking her merrily demented way through the clock tower, Gladys was dutifully sorting mail1, and Moist was half asleep over a sketch pad filled with half-formed stamp ideas.
He'd stalled a bit on the stamps. He was certain a fifty cent stamp featuring a likeness of Zoe would be very popular. He was equally certain that, if using them became known as 'licking Principal Washburn's backside' her wrath would be far more frightening that even Vetinari's.
Hence the stalling.
1 Gladys had actually been struck by the epidemic of memory loss sweeping the island, but she was a golem, so no one had noticed.

The good citizens of that fair city, in keeping with the finest traditions of good citizens everywhere, referred to the use of these stamps as 'licking the Patrician's backside'.
