Why You Shouldn't Send Mail-Bombs 2004-01-10 22:06:22 Reply

It's not exactly Politics related, but I figured you all would get more of a kick out of it than the folks in General. I read this at the Darwin Awards webpage...

"Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet, didn't put enough postage on a letter bomb, and it came back marked "return to sender." He opened the package and was blown away."

Could Captain Obvious please point out the morale of this story?

I just figured out how to send a mail bomb cheaper. Make the return address your target and dont put any postage on it.

Yeah, that would work, then they'd open it to see who sent it, and KABOOM!

Au contraire, if you're doing enough drugs, you're not capable of doing anything else, such as sending mail bombs.

Bongs, not Bombs (as opposed to "Hugs, not Drugs" motto which led to the soaring teenage pregnancy rates)

BLASPHEMER! How can you say that about a loving substance that only wants to make ya feel real good? Sure, you're likely to shoot your friend with a pistol, get pregnant, commit random acts of rape while murdering innocent children and robbing fast food chains (according to the White House Office of National Drug Policy), but it still just wants to be your buddy...

Wa chi na oo ka bi ja ni sa wa ji hi ne hau she she kung pow chicken.

When dealing with Asia use FED-EX.

It would have gotten there by 10 am next morning.

Only losers use drugs.

This is your brain on drugs.

Be cool, stay in school.

Just say NO, to drugs... and letter bombs.

Mentos, the fresh maker.

Uhmmm, how about no, Scott.

Go ahead and walk a mile in someone else's shoes. That way, your a mile away, and you have their shoes.

Oh god, that is one of the stupidest things i've ever heard in my life. no wonder he was on the Darwin awards page. don't you think the guy would recognize his open mail bomb and not open it? come on, have some common sense, or some smarts and not make one in the first place

Hey, wait a minute.................. I`ve been playing arcade games lately, the ones that still have the ```winners don`t use drugs`` screen in them. If I can`t beat the game, and are therefore not a winner, am I a drugg user then?

And the morale is that don`t put bombs in your mail.

If you can actually say that you beat Daikatana without using cheats, then I`ll consider you as a winner.

Oh, and the moral is, don`t put bombs in your mail. You could hurt yourself, or someone else.

Good point... should you use drugs if your a loser....? And also, never put bombs in the mail and open boxs that say return to sender on them.

Moral: Dont put bombs in tan Iraqi's shoes after walking to his house which just so happens to be a mile away.

Or not.
