BBC mistakes video for a fridge
OK, this is not about the Internet at all, but I just had to include it here ...
The story so far ... Beth from the BBC asks Paul to send her a video tape by courier. He sends it. It arrives, but the mailing label was peeling off. So somebody in the mailroom kindly sticks a new label on the tape before sending it to Beth, and sticks the old label temporarily on the lunch room fridge.
Unfortunately, Beth goes to the fridge before seeing the video ... and rings Paul to leave this message.
