USPS Leftovers

The other day Mom ordered 40 $0.17 stamps via our local mail lady.  Typically when you order 40 stamps, you get 2 full sheets of stamps like this (only full)...
That's why Mom and I were shocked (and couldn't stop laughing) when she pulled the stamps out of the envelope from the mail lady.  She gave us 40 stamps...but it looked like this....
 
At first we wondered what we'd done to offend her!  Why did she feel the need to give us 40 stamps like this rather than on 2 full sheets?!?  Today we found out that she was given these stamps by the clerk at the post office.  So either they were running low...or they just wanted to get rid of all the leftovers!

I wasn't aware you could order stamps from the mail lady!
