UPS

Maybe someone can untangle this for me:

If I purchase an item on Wednesday, and the item is already in transit early Thursday morning, when should I expect it’s arrival, given that it’s traveling via the “UPS 2nd Day Air” service that I purchased for an additional $30? Logic would dictate that if Thursday is the first day of transit, Friday would be the second day, Saturday would be the third, and so on in that fashion. In fact, even if Thursday didn’t count as the first day of transit, that would make Friday the first day, and Saturday the second.

With all this in mind, how do you account for a UPS 2nd Day Air package that’s in transit since Thursday being scheduled to arrive the following Monday? What have I just spend $30 in additional shipping for?

Yep… And I haven’t laughed this hard since the last time I saw my penis. I got most of the chuckles out of my system before recording this video but, evidently, there were a few more chuckles left in there still… I’m ok now.

Just as a quick header note to this video: It’s probably better if you watch the movie before you watch my commentary of it.

The bottom line is that Hollywood’s botched attempts at employing real science in their features is an insult to the intelligence of the movie going public. At least that’s my opinion… because the alternative would basically be for everyone to say: “Yes, we are that dumb! None of what was portrayed on the silver screen went against our understanding of high school grade science!” And I just don’t see that happening.

This is a video response to this guy’s answer to this guy’s question.  This is also open to anyone who cares to comment, whether on here or in the YouTube video comments.

If all goes to plan, this should serve two purposes: First, no matter how you answer, the sheer number of votes ought to give me some insight into the number of views that any given blog entry receives. Secondly, it should give me a rough breakdown of the regular and the occasional visitors.

I’ve been thinking of posting more content on here but, before I do, I’d like to justify the effort. So vote! Vote like you’ve never voted before!
