Wow, I didn't think they would ship drugs via FedEx, I thought after 9/11 the shipping companies had a machine in which they sniffed out packages, I guess I was wrong.

Figures... The only wrong mail I get is for gamer magazines

I believe Mitch Hedberg said it best, I like the Fed-ex guy, cause he's a drug dealer and he doesn't even know it.....and he's always on time.

Disclaimer- I do not an any way condone drug use or the Illeagl act of shipping it via postal service. Just making a comical observation.
