Someone will understand this, I didn't until this morning.

DO NOT TRY TO SHIP FUEL CELLS THROUGH THE MAIL WITHOUT THOROUGHLY CLEANING THEM OUT AND TRIPLE BAGGING THEM. THE FEDERALES DON'T THINK IT'S FUNNY.

Meanwhile, my wife had to deal with it so I get to laugh about it until I get home.

I think I just beat out Dan for "Dumbass of the month".

I just got yelled at and I giggled... She is pregnant so any thing I do could set her off...

I really don't have all the specifics other than she got a package delivered by a "FED EX official" and another "suited official" and had some questions and some statements. After opening the box they knew it was just stupidity. I guess it never left Lansing and was in quarantine for a week waiting determination.

Pretty much a "Don't do this" warning.

My old UPS driver had a powdered substance come out of a box. He followed company instructions, and parked the truck, and then came into our store, called HQ, and waited. A group came, put on Hazmat suits and examined the package. Turned out to be some sort of powdered aluminum, container was not adequately padded and broke. I can see why they have to be careful though.
