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.

Poor Otis, dead and gone,
left me here to sing his song.
Pretty little girl
with a red dress on,
Poor Otis, dead and gone.

My Bonnie looked into the gas tank
its contents more clearly to see
she li-it a match to assist her
oh bring back my Bonnie to me!

Might be a good idea to work up as a sequel to “Forget Paris”.

I’m glad for you. My back-ache remedy is wine and belly-dance stretches.

Sorry, but thinking “inside the box!” is not thinking outside the box.

Uh oh. You might also be interested in one of those Homemedics massagers on your trigger points. (My sifu was also a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. He got me through two surgeries, the first of which was seriously mismanaged.)

Shake well before opening.

Everything outside the box is mine.

I wrote a poem about it.

Here!

Bonnie was a Southern gal... li-it being two syllables.

In the South the name Chris is three syllables. Ker-ee-iss.

This is to make up for the shortage of syllables in the North. ‘Let’s go eat.’ becomes ‘sgueet.’

See, balance in the universe.

Remind me to tell you about the time we didn’t have room in my Beetle for the last keg, which a generous biker drove to our college mountain party on his Harley. He was off like a turd of hurtles, until he reached our destination... I suppose he hadn’t considered what to do once he stopped. Bike beer.
