USPS - I'm getting paranoid

[Dr. Dread]

Dave, I assume you get transmissions from outer space wearing that hat?

Mike

Well, that's not really me. And the hat BLOCKS outer space transmissions. Everyone knows that. 

[Holden]

The only parcel I've ever received that has ever been opened was from the UK. It was my first shipment of a health supplement that you can't buy in Australia because it has yet to be approved by the TGA (Australia's therapeutic goods regulators). What I'd imported was a bottle of serrapaptase which comes in capsule form. I suspect that Aussie customs wanted to make sure that it wasn't illegal drugs/steroids/etc. I've had further shipments that haven't been touched, no doubt because they now know what it is.

The saying has been attributed to Goethe, Napoleon, and a host of others.  It must be a life's lesson!   0:)

Never say "never". 

[Cato]

Never say "never". 

I think James Bond/Sean Connery said that!   

[knight66]

I thought he said, 'Never say never again.'

Now, did that mean; don't ever say, 'Never again.'?

Or did it mean; don't ever again say, 'Never'?

Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

Mike

And, actually, with the latter interpretation you even escape contradicting yourself. But yes, wrong thread.

[knight66]

Well, I don't know that it is really me who escapes as such; it was supposed to be James Bond, though I don't think he ever used the expression. It was Connery's wife who came up with the expression, in what passes, for film stars, as real life. It was not a title that Fleming used, though it was a reworking of one of his stories.

Just a tiny thought for a Sunday Morning....now where is that Dave with his fresh as paint paranoia? Gosh, I miss that guy.

Mike

[Coopmv]

Oh, yes, we probably all thought that; but what kind of subversive, pinko, mind-rotting pornography is it.....Haydn perhaps?

If so, then you get all the peeking you deserve; you degenerate.

Mike

I received some CD order from the UK a few weeks ago where the box appeared to have been opened and sloppily re-sealed but nothing was lost.  Perhaps custom or some government agency was trying to determine if the package contained some illicit items?  But whatever happens to all those high-tech scanners they have?

[Dr. Dread]

....now where is that Dave with his fresh as paint paranoia? Gosh, I miss that guy.

We have him now and are preparing the anal probe!

[knight66]

Tisk, tisk....and on a Sunday. These friends of Sean have no respect at all.
