WOMAN'S CANARIES ARRIVE IN THE MAIL, SMASHED

A woman on Grant, Alabama, ordered a 60th birthday present to herself. Rhonda King ordered eight canaries for $600 from a seller in Texas. What the United States Postal Service delivered was six dead canaries in a smashed box. King said, “When my postmaster got there he told me, ‘Well, your birds arrived, but they’re not alive.’ I was handed this box with tire tracks on it and bird carnage hanging out.” The box – approved for shipping birds – was supposed to ship on Dec. 5, King’s 60th birthday, and arrive the following day. But, three days later, the smashed package arrived, missing two of the birds. USPS plans to reimburse King the money she spent on the birds and shipping, or to replace the birds.
* Is she sure she didn’t order pressed duck?
* Looks like the truck took a wrong…tern.
* Is she angry? She’s ravin’.
* Wow, I hate it when people complain about every little thing.
* Did the package make it there or not?
* Frankly, I thought the tire tracks on the box was a nice touch.
* Who delivered the birds? Sylvester the Cat?
* Six dead canaries in a smashed box. It’s the post office version of the 12 Days of Christmas.
