When you fold a piece of paper so it fits in the envelope perfectly

Lick and load, people.

Yeah, yeah, sure, we ain’t sending out letters much these days but we both know there’s the odd time you’re forced to fold n’ crease a piece of paper and snug it tightly into an envelope for some smoooooooth mailing.

Now, if you don’t nail it properly you get a fat wedge sticking out the top of the envelope and are left with two horrible choices:

1. The Creasy Jungle. This is where you unfold and refold your crinkly masterpiece. It’s not ideal because there’s no hiding your terrible folding skills and you end up with a messy envelope.

2. The Fat Flabby Fold-Down. This one’s the postage equivalent of attempting an awkward twelvepoint turn when your parallel parking job ends up three feet from the curb. When you’re rocking the fat flabby, you’re bending that top crease backwards really tightly. This gives you a thick n’ chunky wedge that barely squeezes in.

Friend, let’s be clear: There are issues.

But that’s why it’s great when you manage to fold that paper tightly and fold that paper rightly so your letter slip n’ slides into the waiting envelope’s mouth. When you nail it your eyes twinkle a tiny bit, your smile curls at the lip, and your swagger shakes at the hip, baby.

AWESOME!
