WHICH Canal??

[Richard in Panama]

There’s a lot of talk about the much-hyped Nicaragua Canal which is supposed to start construction by the end of this year. And Egypt, which seems to have trouble getting its country together, has announced plans for a new, larger Suez Canal. Well, not only is Egypt having trouble getting its country together, but …

 

Egypt issued a new stamp to celebrate it’s plan for a new expanded Suez Canal. Look carefully …

 

 

That’s right … in their haste to get the stamp out they used an image of the PANAMA Canal!

 

Ooops!

Hey a Canal is a Canal... we can't be too picky!! Thinking back if Colon can be the stand in for Port-au-Prince in the movie Quantum of Solace, then I certainly think Gatun Locks is up to the task of the stunt double for the Suez!!!

 

I would think by now the issuers of the stamp would have wished they had invested a little in proof readers.
