Mailorder is great, get a new liver or a new ear

Quote:
CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Two packages containing human body parts - including a liver and part of a head - meant for a medical research lab instead were delivered to a home.


The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off Thursday at Franck and Ludivine Larmande's home by a DHL express driver who believed the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to a table.

"My husband started to unwrap one and said, 'This is strange, it looks like a liver,'" Ludivine Larmande said. "He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear.

"Something wasn't right. It was scary, and I'm glad I didn't open them."

Don't make fun. What's in that box could determine whether you liver die.

Or perhaps it could be somebody trying to give you a piece of their mind.

I would have vomited all over the place if I opened that... and be scarred for life

I bet whoever shipped it to the wrong address got an earful from their supervisor.
