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.
Thanks! How impressive! They gave me the Earth Science medal at HS graduation (I tried to get out of attending the ceremony but they told me I wouldn’t graduate if I didn’t attend and I actually believed them. Good thing, too. I would have been a really big nightmare rather than a moderate nightmare if I had known the score lol). So much more sophistication! And I never knew I’d be competing until some teacher dragged me somewhere on a valuable Saturday. Things are so much better organized now.
Teaching the kids dirty songs? I hadn't thought of that.
Gran, wondering how you are doing.
We lost Cardy a couple months back.
I won a national contest in English because we got to take off half a school day for the test. OldTax-lady says, “Always take a test if it’s free!”
Send in the Kitty Brigade. No American kitty should be held hostage. Lord only knows what them ducks will do.
There were three white ducks hanging around the dock at our lakeside rental house last week. I called them Twitty, Twerpy, and Sheldon, which is what we call Vlad, James, and Pat when they’re in a deranged nerdy flock.
We gave them some bread, when Frank didn’t finish his lunch, but they weren’t satisfied.
LOL ... Ducks are evil, they expect freebees and when they do not get what the ducks consider enough, they quack and protest. This is why there is a daffy duck. Sure do miss the old cartoons. There were lessons of life in those old cartoons. Bugs was a shunner of daffy, and daffy would go nuts. No offense intended Darkwing.
What a thing to wake up to! LOL!
DUCK!!!! incoming............
Good Morning :-)
Praise report: rental has new tenants - husband and wife seeking peace and healing. PJ is in liver failure on the waiting list for a donor. May God have mercy and find her one, soon. In Jesus’ Name. AMEN
The cat seems to have Stockholm Syndrome. It’s probably a setup.
Congratulations on the new tenants!
It’s pouring again here. We went to Walmart.
Learning to endure is something a lot of people can’t do. You are an example of those who maintained faith and endured in spite of the obstacles.
*HUG*
Is like the game of Ducks and Drakes? Never played it and have no clue what it entails, but it looks like the cat is willing.

Ohmygosh! Look what I found!
(It was time for a mid-month ping, anyway!)
Not popular these days (or so I'm told).

True - I understand furbelow is no longer popular amongst the fashionable female sects, butt this comment might itself become trimmed with little visible evidence ..... Or worse, cut off entirely.
Yes....my mother told me that, though she used the word in a rather unique manner: The road is not as furbelow the house as I thought it was. Or similar usage.
YAY!
” Furbelow A furbelow has nothing to do with fur. It may be a gathered strip or pleated border to an article of (usually) female...”
Obama wears it. He’s female..
