9 out of 10 times it's an electric razor

Um. I know it's just probably contents settling or whatever. But this 35lb box John ordered just arrived from UPS, and it's making shuffling noises. I think it's moving.

It's either a Sybian, or a brace of mongooses. That's my prediction, anyhoo.

John loves mongooses, I would not be surprised if he ordered 32lbs worth.

One time a friend sent someone a vibrating Mr Potato Head and forgot to take out the batteries. The recipient received a call from the post office about a suspicious package addressed to him.

I didn't know Mr. Potato Head vibrated.

Mongoose range in weight from the squirrel-sized Common Dwarf Mongoose, at 280 g (9.9 oz), to the cat-sized White-tailed Mongoose, at 4 kg (8.8 lb). So there may be many in the box, or only a small selection.

A big computer. I don't know why it was moving and making noises.
