Just got off the phone with my Dad. He ordered a new Mac Laptop a couple days ago. FedEx showed up this morning and Dad thought the box felt a little light. He made the driver stand there while he opened the box, only to find a box full of paper and FedEx envelopes, no computer. Fucking jacked in-transit.

I'm sure he'll get it straightened out but he's super pissed right now.

No shit, huh! I know I usually don't... might have to start making a point of it.  :undecided:

It is kinda funny that they thought a few overnight envelopes would be as heavy as a computer... my old man could tell something wasn't right, and he's old!  :laugh:

Hey if it wasn't for us "old" people then you people would be the "old" people.

Except we aren't the old people, because you are the old people. You had your chance, now you are old and can't make fun of old people and it... irritates you. A sign of being old. :laugh:

Damn, Ear... that's hardcore. Damn good thing he checked.

What? You loon, if all the "old" people were to die the next age group then becomes the oldest...hence old people. Give me anymore crap and I'm going to stick a potato in the tail pipe of the batmobile.

How old?  :angry:  Just watch it, Sonny Jim!   :punchy:

But seriously, did he get the driver's van No., name etc. Follow through with immediate phone calls. It would be interesting to know what the driver's reaction was. Surprise? Feigned surprise?   :undecided:  Would love to know what washes up for him, beyond the delivery of an actual Mac, accompanied by 2 armed Wells Fargo guards.

I hate to say it in these words, but the old people ARE gonna die Joe. I'm sorry to have to tell you that, Old Timer. :cry:
