Yeah, well, "dat kan niet" *is* the Dutch motto. I'm surprised it's not

Only UPS did ? and yes, the ?horror? stories *are*
true. They managed to drop
the package. Not from 4 inches above ground, but more, because a *steel
corner* had a dent!
Hence that old joke: "If being air dropped out of a C-130 into a minefield
constitutes 'moderately rough handling', what constitutes 'very rough
handling'?" "Being shipped UPS".
