Special Delivery
Sorting mail has got to be one of the world's most dangerous jobs, right up there with the midnight shift at 7-11 and drumming for a big-hair band. First, the post office had to contend with the Unabomber. Then anthrax. Now it's dirty diapers.
A foul-smelling unmarked package led to the evacuation of a post office next to the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum. The bomb squad was called in, x-rayed the offending box, and determined that it contained two cans of spinach and a dirty diaper.
"No wonder it smelled," said Deborah Yackley, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service. "I don't know why it was being mailed."
Ask any mom of a tweenage boy with a yucky baby sister. She'll tell you why.
