UPS.....We Have A Problem.....

dieseldiva · Oct 29, 2010

A BOMB problem.

And in the spirit of keeping things light....a short commercial break. Thanks to UPS commercial "that's logistics" for the inspiration.

When the bomb from the slime shows up precisely on time.....that's ballistics...

When the box from Iraq comes equipped with a clock.....that's ballistics....

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Well, they both weren't flying on UPS. The Dubai package was shipped FEDEX.

Yeah, I know...at the time I wrote this, it was early in the story and the reports were about UPS, Fed Ex wasn't reported at that time. Not at all surprising though, is it?

Oh and the Hubs was "ate up" with his mock commercial!

Here's a story from two days ago. Tells what we're up against:

"Corruption, an inefficient security force and an intoxicating plant that keeps most men in Yemen high for up to six hours a day all stand in the way of America's battle against al-Qaida's Yemen wing..."

If I read the stories right, the Dubai package never left the ground, tho. And FedEx has halted all shipments originating in Yemen.

Someone will see this as a chance to increase rates and capture market share of Yemeni freight! LOL

I was under the impression that the package had already flown from Sanas to Dubai, but there was a lot of obscure things posted in the beginning.

You wouldn't have drivers deadheading out too fast before you can find a load.
