missincognito Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I heard the same exact thing...but instead of an envelope it was a roach inside a taco from Taco Bell. At any rate- no tacos since then and now no envelope licking....yuck! ------------------ *~**~*~**~~ No man/woman is worth your tears... and the only one who would be- would never make you cry ~~**~*~**~*AIM MissIncognito13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
