Ouch! WTF??

[Popeye the Sailor]

Looking at the Chinese writing, I'm lead to believe that it might be a huge block of tofu. 

Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, those containers only have doors on one side. So why is the door not in the back?  Hmm yes.

The door being in the back would not have stopped it.


I can prove this on an abacus.

You are mistaken.  Standard shipping containers have doors at both ends.

Damn. It still looks like tofu though.

Why is someone shipping what looks like a giant block of concrete in a shipping container? Is that possibly granite or some other building stone material?

I did it!  I shipped it!  I know the driver.  He's a pain in my ass!  So I thought I fix his wagon!  I shipped a 100 ton block of marble packaged in a container filled with a layer of ball bearings set in a layer of temperature sensitive wax that was set to soften and allow the stone to slide when it was in climate.  I specifically requested he drive this container. 

That'll teach that prick to mistakenly dial my phone number.  Wrong number calls!  I hate them!



Wait a minute.  That's tofu.  I shipped marble.  Wasn't me.

WTF is right. 

Red Duke, you're a genius.  I get wrong number calls from a fax machine at 2am.  NOW all I have to do is track down the culprit, give them a truck load of marble...hmmm, what ruse shall I use to get them to crash, er, I mean drive it.

at first glance i thought that was one of those soviet trucks those things always had a funny shape to them then i saw the what looked like a huge block of pepper jack cheese sticking out back/front of the container anyone got some

I still can't seem to bend my head around how this could have happened...I won't even bother asking why that huge piece of stone is packaged in a freight container....

That's easy.  Take a week or two off from work, hire a crew and a load of heavy equipment (that marble is a pregnant dog to handle), you may need a few round trip air tickets, follow your victim (really no need for this step but it's fun), map out his route,  hire actors to dress as nuns and small school children (try to get a few in wheelchairs), wait at a street corner, as the driver approaches your corner push all your actors into the street in front of the on coming truck.

Well, there is friction force...all you have to do is overcome that friction force, and the block will move.  The enlightened poster will realize "there is no block," and then it will move.  This was all covered in the first 'Matrix' film, man.

Wouldn't a scantily clad hot chick flashing the guy work too?

I appreciate the explanation...but I meant more rhetorically how this could happen....

Red Duke & Somebastid, you are both brilliant!

Scantly clad hot chicks cost money. Trust me. I know! They are also flakey and can be manipulated buy a decent line of bullshit and a reasonable amount of alcohol. A nun and a handshake is a sure thing and you can steel a baby carage at any grocery store.
