Well Worth It.

I found an even bigger box, which, in my opinion, only made it funnier. The mailing process took over 30 minutes. Why, you ask?
PO: What’s in the box?
Me: A book.
PO: [What you talkin bout, Willis? face] A book?
Me: Yeah.
PO: You know they make smaller boxes don’t you?
Me: Yeah. I’m doing it to be funny.
PO: [Unamused] Hmph. I’m going to need to open it up and inspect it.
Me: Wait…what? Why?
PO: Because I don’t believe you.
Me: But I spent so long packing it. Must you?
PO: I must. Some joke, by the way.
The package was inspected. A huge line (or audience) formed behind me. They eventually approved it. I paid my money and left with a smile on my face, knowing without a doubt that this was well worth it. I can’t wait to see this dude’s Amazon review.
