Since we’re on the always hilarious subject of bone headed, knuckle- 
dragging,  incompetents of shipping great paper,  my worst  
experience was purchasing a rare THE WOMEN half-sheet from a guy in  
South Carolina  shipping to me in LA.   After my asking him to  
remove from the frame prior to shipping,  he shipped in a single- 
ply,  already used box with no packing except one panel ONE PANEL  
of bubble wrap just laid on top which barely covered half the  
frame.  My guess is the glass shattered somewhere between his  
postoffice and the closest Guns for Christ Warehouse  whereupon  
shards of glass continued to scratch the surface image of the gals   
from East to West Coast  where on arrival it looked like an Etch-A- 
Sketch of squiggles composed by a 7 year old on a liter of Mountain  
Dew.


I tried to have someone burn down his house trailer but evidently  
it was considered a State Landmark.
