I order a lot of stuff online. Too much really. I'd say about half the time when I get a package in the mail I've forgotten what it was that I had ordered, so it becomes a surprise. I once got drunk and ordered a violin. I do not presently know, nor ever have known, how to play the violin.
When I got home from my job the other day I found a small sticker on my door telling me I had missed the delivery of a package that required a signature. I couldn't remember ordering anything expensive, so I couldn't imagine why I'd have to sign for a box as they normally leave them on my doorstep.
Well I drove to go get it and was informed that I would need to sign because the shipment had been flagged as "Containing Hazardous Materials". I signed for the box and walked it to my car concerned. Hopefully I didn't do something ridiculous like try to order uranium through the mail. I'd rather not have to explain to the Department of Homeland Security that I had been possessed by the demons of Guinness.
Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found what had caused all the commotion.
God has a sense of humor.
