See if you can answer these 5 Points of Stupidity in the following story.
1. Who is the stupid one in this story? Is it the courier who delivers a package containing a machine, some bottles of coloured liquid and containers of pills to an address in error? or is it the person to whom the parcel was delivered accepting the parcel in spite of never having ordered anything?
2. When did the stupidity first become evident? Was it when the person receiving the parcel opened it without checking to see who sent the parcel? OR Was it when this same person opened the parcel without checking to see whose name was on the address label?
3. Where in the timeline of this story would the rightful owner of parcel contents be the stupidest a) when they go to the address of where the parcel was delivered and expect to be paid by the person therein $183 for the cost of the parcel? or b) when the rightful owners threaten the person living at the said address with physical harm if the $183 is not paid?
4. What was the stupidest thing done in this story? Was it the drinking of the unknown liquid or was it the eating of the unknown pills by the person to whom the parcel was delivered?
5. Why is the stupidity so evident in this story ? Is it because a) Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.? --author unknown OR b) There are more fools in the world than there are people? --Heinrich Heine
There a 540 people living in my small town . There are 540 stories to be told and this is one of them.
