	Placing a postage stamp bearing the monarch’s head upside down on an envelope is considered as act of treason. Also, defacing or destroying anything bearing a likeness of the monarch is illegal. This includes burning paper money or tearing a stamp apart

I said, that if God didn't want me to dry washing on the Sabbeth, then He should send me a week without rain!!
