Recently I had to ship something using Greyhound Bus Shipping. It's kind of a wierd service for items that are extra large or heavy. I was reviewing the terms, conditions, and whatnot and came across this list of prohibited items. Some of them struck me as odd. What do you think?

Stranger things have been on busses i'm sure. I guess at least I know where NOT to go the next time I mail an animal head. Heh.

Okay, so, uh, can I ship non-alcoholic beer then? 'Cause I was going to send out a case of Sharps.
HOW COULD YOU NOT INCLUDE THE ANIMAL HEAD EXCEPTIONS?! Maybe you can ship a horse head as long as it's a message from Don Corleone...iono.
Apparently snakes don't count as reptiles and reptiles and birds don't count as animals.
But! You could, it seems, ship DECAPITATED DEAD ANIMALS.

Gosh, Andy, I don't know why you find this list so amusing...

ps- thanks for the insight on tuesday. :O)

Its just such a strange list. It states that you cannot ship live animals. But then it states separately that you cannot ship birds, reptiles, etc. Aren't those animals? Does that mean that you can ship dead animals as long as they are not of those specific types? If so, would that violate the "no corpse" rule, or does that only apply to humans? It raises a lot of interesting points.

P.S. What insight? I gave insight?
