A lady friend of mine was moving her things to her new house after a divorce. Some of her friends and I was helping box things up for the move. On the day of the move she had asked me to come over to help with some of the smaller things. When I got there she was in the shower, being a little silly I climbed in a box that was sitting with the rest to surprise her when she got out. It wasn't long when I was surprised when a friend of hers showed up. I was to embarras to climb out with them there. I sat in the box and listen as they packed up more boxes. It wasn't long when I was surprised again, The movers showed up. To scared to get out, I was picked up and loaded on the truck, within a few hours I was delivered.. So I know it can happen.

Why is Charles Mckinley a "stupid human trick" while Nathaniel Heatwole is reserved as a hero who should be praised?

Hahahaha. Maybe the crate, along Brian's line of thinking, smelled like pee or poo.

I think I read that he had diapers... or was that David Blaine... How much do you think David Blaine regrets doing the man starving in a box trick right now?

How come nobody's talking about his excretory preparations? Did I not read closely enough? I wanna know if he flew "pee bag" or "no pee bag"!

Right - but McKinley didn't bear the shipping cost, his employer did. I think this is where the derangement factors in: "Can I ship myself from NYC to Dallas? Let's see!"

OK. Obviously this guy is deranged. i feel bad for him. But just checking Expedia.com, he could have gotten a roundtrip flight in an actual coach seat in actual non-cargo airplane for $251 from LGA!
