When we moved to and from Saipan, there were no moving companies to ship our household stuff. The cheapest way to send it all was USPS. So, most of my earthly possessions. ---

> [@Mrs\_Fairway](#): > > Years ago, I was working in the postal plant and kept hearing a crowing sound. Yep, someone was mailing a rooster and it would not shut up. As soon as your nerves calmed down, it crowed again, every few minutes. I loved hearing the chicks, though. So cute. I’d never heard of shipping live farm animals until I read [this tale.](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2004/2004-h/2004-h.htm). I’ve never shipped anything all that unusual, beyond one “poo stick”. My daughter once had to ship some samples of #1 AND #2, that had to be frozen first, then shipped overnight to a specialty lab. That was fun (we were very careful when we opened the freezer). ---

The pseudonym I used was Dick Hertz. It would have been wild if there was another man in the post office with that name. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-weirdest-thing-that-you-have-ever-mailed/847348.md?page=3)
