Apparently, people are mailing out Elvis-stamped envelopes to
non-existent destinations.  They then wait in anticipation as the
letters come back stamped:

                    Return To Sender--Address Unknown

It was getting so bad and tying up the USPS so heavily that the post
offices will gladly adorn envelopes with those lyrical rubber return
stamps if the person brings the letter(s) in him/herself.  The USPS
would rather do that than be smothered in false addresses and their
subsequent returns.
