Man Nearly Died by Shipping Himself to Girlfriend (As a Romantic Gesture)
AsiaOne ^ | Tuesday, Sep 04, 2012

A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong.

Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang.

However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery.

The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu.

The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and he did not want to spoil the surprise by calling for attention.

When the box arrived at Li Wang's place, his friend was poised to record the event.

However, they found Mr Hu unconscious and looking pale upon opening the package.

Subsequently, paramedics were called over to her apartment to revive him.

He admitted, "I didn't realise it would take so long."

The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.

The spokesperson said that even for animals, a special container would be used so they can breathe properly.

humble, do you still have that possum (the one you were trying to give away)?

Not at the moment, but I could catch hold of him pretty quick.

He views the trap as a kind of bed-and-breakfast deal.

There’s a bowl of after-lizard mints on the buffet table.

Good news!

I used to live close to downtown Las Vegas, and the second year that NASCAR races were held here, my apartment was in the helicopter flight path from the heliport at McCarran to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was, indeed, quite a show! For several days.

I’m glad to hear they are getting some control over the fires. Hang tough, girl!

Don’t ship by airplane. The tsa will eat the goods, or if you want the tsa to eat it, mark it as IPAD.

Thanks for the cleanup - water in the house is bad for the floors. One of these days, we’ll get waterproof tile!

Does just looking at a picture of them make you sneeze?

I hope you’re doing okay today! Waving fondly from a safe distance (covered with cat and dog fur ... ;-).

It rained here last night, conveniently after the bonfire party Tom and Elen were attending.

I went to an educational event at church this morning. We watched a very interesting video about women religious in the United States. And we had muffins. Someone has to pick Elen up at her choir practice at 1:30.

I’ve discovered, much to my dismay, that I must drink strong tea if I expect to be stress-free in the areas that count. (It’s called a “binding agent,” probably because of the tannins.)

Yesterday, I did 20 minutes on the Gazelle, and learned that I need a) a basket to hold the CD player in and, b) a new CD player. I got this one while I was still working so I’m surprised that it is even still able to function. But it’s a Sony, so it should be good.

Anyway, I found them both at Walmart online, so I can get them when I want.

I will try to do 20-30 minutes every other day to see if it will have any impact on the BP. The numbers are coming down, but I’m still experimenting with food and herbal remedies. The top number has dropped an average of 20 points, and the bottom number is still anybody’s guess. However, I AM encouraged!

If I break a tooth, I'm going to sue somebody.

For goodness’ sake, how on earth could you break a tooth on a cream puff? Don’t tell me—you’ll bite a chunk out of the dry ice. Aaaarrrrggghhh
