WRIGHT CITY, Mo. - Telephones typically ring, not tick, so a man who went to the post office to pick up a novelty phone he ordered over the Internet was alarmed that the package was ticking. It turned out that the phone — shaped like Winnie the Pooh — had a feature the customer didn't know about: An incoming call causes Winnie's head to spin, and the feature apparently had been activated during shipping. The ticking that prompted evacuation of the Wright City post office Thursday morning was Winnie's head repeatedly hitting the side of the package, said Cpl. Julie Scerine, a spokeswoman for the Missouri Highway Patrol. story |

LOL! Hubby got asked to STOP putting bloody hand prints on his boxes. He wraps his hockey masks in 'plain brown paper' to ship. He thought it would be cool to put a bloody handprint on the boxes. Apparently, our fave brand of blood looked WAY to real. The post office called in the Haz Mat team. The next time hubby took in boxes with the hand print, the clerk put a big "Fake Blood" sticker on the box and told him not to do that anymore.
A friend who heard this story came up with a good point. "Why did the post office HAVE 'Fake Blood' stickers???"
(I think it was a generic sticker that the clerk wrote on.)

It's the drugs man. They infiltrate your mind and make you think bad things to do to others....
Wally and The Beaver never had these problems....
But then again you could yell at your kid and beat their ass when they messed up too
Let me say this, I have before and may again. Guys, we are all of the similar ages. 3 words
HOT WHEELS TRACKS.

Then riddle me this Grampa Joe, why did the world lose its mind after the start of the "war on drugs"? It seems the world was a saner place when it had more drugs...
