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.

Same as 12 X 12 but only backwards.
What a clever method of getting from Point A to Point B! Although I can understand why it was in SoCal...kinda rainy in Oregon. All the time.
The world is really backwards when your sons have all the curls and the daughters are bald.
But it seems to be a fact of life...my son has thick curly hair, and my daughter’s has never been either.
The weather pervaricator reminded me that Saturday is the first day of Fall. *sigh* I was elated that the humidity is gone, and that it is still fairly warm (99 yesterday, more of the same all week) and that the skies are mostly blue with no clouds. Yay desert!
Jury duty today, I may be scarce for a while.
Before you go: Got any 4’s?
I have good eyesight, insight and foursight, how could an intelligent Hare make such a silly mistake?
Looks like you foursight worked well, once...
Just tell the attorneys in the courtroom that you believe in the death penalty, the right to bear arms, and you believe that illegal aliens should be sent packing and not allowed any benefits from The System. If that’s not enough, tell them you think all Muslims should be sent back to wherever they came from, and their mosques here should be destroyed.
That ought to keep you from being called for jury duty ever again! (It’s what my daughter does!)
I’m not trying to avoid jury duty.
Oh. Well then.
Unfortunately, my beliefs are much the same as my daughter’s and because of that, my honesty would preclude me from ever being chosen. She doesn’t necessarily want to avoid jury duty, but from experience, she is always eliminated by one side or the other.
So she looks forward to the selection day(s) as days off from work with pay!
Yikes—no wonder the shelters have such a hard time placing black dogs and black cats!
Talk about the best-laid plans—our home decor and my entire wardrobe revolved around four large black dogs. Then the Creator sent a large black and white dog, a black and white kitten, two blonde and white kittens and two red and white kittens. Game over. Brandish masking tape. There aren’t enough sticky rollers in the galaxy. To quote T-c, “Le sigh.”
LOL! My friend who runs the Envirothon teams has a huge black dog.
We’re all going to be something hairy when Anoreth visits with Piper the husky. Ash sheds quite a bit, but it’s very short fur.
Is *that* what that means? Good thing to know if we start looking for a new church.
I’m invariably rejected.
Not necessarily, but if you’re going to find a snake-handling congregation, they are likely to be Primitive Baptist.
At least it’s not a box or a washer.
I don’t try to avoid jury duty either. I just tell them exactly what I think and my reasons for thinking that way, and I usually wind up poisoning a large contingent of the jury pool. Then I ask to be considered for a nice civil case which doesn’t involve consumer abuse because I’m opinionated about that, too. If I’m empaneled, I consider employing jury nullification if appropriate. (The one time I was empaneled, the case was tossed. One of the LEO’s refused to cancel his vacation to testify, but the case would have been tossed anyway because there was a time period when the suspect was unobserved and, according to his attorney, somebody else could have shoved him under his truck while he was asleep with his trousers around his ankles).
I'm not sure how long one could be jailed for contempt of court in California.
Morning bump.
BTW, concur wholeheartedly w/your tagline. P.S. Now we have a little, shorthaired red dog—those short red hairs get stuck real good in my black T-shirts. Needless to say, my new wardrobe revolved around denim and camoflage. SYL
You can always hang the jury. I stopped fighting clean a long time ago. “The government does not meet it’s burden beyond a reasonable doubt in my opinion.” Are you going to support a fellow citizen being found guilty of a “crime” involving second amendment issues? One of our opportunities to change bad laws involves jury duty.
Consider 0bungle’s executive orders. Honorable principles are nice in the abstract, but let’s get real and employ Alinskyite tactics to swing the pendulum. End of rant. This probably doesn’t belong on UT, anyway.
