[Amps] [BULK] - shipping

[Will Matney]

 LMAO! Well, that would get their attention. I have to admit, I did send a
fresh cow pile throught the mail one time to a guy for a practical joke. Had
it wrapped in a plastic bag though so it wouldn't stink. Fortunately, I wasn
t reported as I was about 17 at the time. What kids will do when they're
dumb and young. Makes you wonder just what is in some of those boxes that
get shipped?

Best,

Will
