Ah, the Temptation!

My son works for FedEx. Today he spent several minutes contemplating deliberately losing his job. He stared at the box he held in his hands, a simple 1.5 x 1.5 foot box, waiting to be loaded onto a truck. He considered tucking the box under his arm and making a run for it, thinking that it might be worth the risk.

Then he decided. He loaded the box onto the truck and went about his work. He's a good boy.

You see, the box was labeled thus:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow

Was it a two dimensional box? I've never seen one of those.

Haha... piz, become a fiction writer. You have it in you.

He wouldn't need to risk his job to get the book now. There are plenty of illegal copies on the web. >.< Someone photographed each page and uploaded it to a filesharing site. The New York Times has already published a review. Scholastic has a lawsuit filed against one source of leaks.

This is really ridiculous. I've sworn off everything internet except my e-mail and this forum until after I've gotten my copy.

Good for your son! Wish these spoiler people had as much respect. I think I've already been spoiled at least one of the deaths. Course, you can't really tell, can you, until you've got it?

How much insurance did the shipper have on that package? I suspect it was meant to be stolen.

A few years ago when one of the Harry Potter books came out I received my copy a few days early. I ordered it through either Costco or Sam's Club and it came a day or two early. My children of course loved that it showed up early.

My kids corrected me, it was a Harry Potter movie that came early and not one of the books.
