    Is it the flipping box (huh-huh), or the postal worker off the job shooting the video instead of taking action?
    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.

    Don't you just want to reach out and make it sit flat?

    I must admit it does have a catchy beat. What the heck was in that box ? a column of steel balls ? It reminds my of those plastic jumping beans we used to play with when we were children. You know the kind ? They looked like a plastic pill capsule and they had a little steel ball bearing within. As long as you held them on an incline they would keep on tumbling and tumbling.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Was there a fragile sticker on that?
    There curious want to know...why was that the ONLY box on that line? I'm thinking staged, here.

    Yep, I got the impression most of the sorting happens all at once, not one box at a time.

    I lived at the end of a FED EX sorting facility Runway in Southhaven (Memphis). In the wee hours of the morning, a thousand screaching, roaring, fire breathing flying machines would descend into the neighborhood only to start departing an hour or so later...
    quite an operation.

    I bet it was a dildo with batteries that turned itself on.
