I recently received a package from UPS that contained a signed lithograph.
Clearly stamped on both sides of the package were the words "DO NOT BEND"

Guess what?  There was a great big 30 degree bend in the package right
across those very words.  The print, of course was damaged, not that
UPS gives a damn about how they handle my parcels.  It will be fun to
see what good the insurance paid on this package will be.
