We didn't order a human corpse...We ordered fish!

Earlier this week, something interesting happened at a pet store in Philadelphia.

The pet store was supposed to receive an order of fish, but ended up getting a corpse. This is thanks to a "verbal miscommunication" between the driver and cargo representative, according to US Airways. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ERROR IS THAT??

Understatement of the year. Well, at least of the month...No, they'll be a lot of drunk people next week on St. Patrick's Day saying stupid things...so, Understatement of the Moment!
Yes, even freaking huge can't explain this away...How many people will be fired, I wonder?

This is truly a WTF moment. Who would want a dead guy delivered to a pet store? Or anywhere for that matter?

 

[ElephantGuts]

Too bad they didn't open it. That would have been much funnier. Serves the airline right. I'm sure they'll be made to pay for the forgotten shipment of now-dead fish.

I saw this earlier today and just couldn't believe how they could make a mistake like this.

Erm did I just read it right? '..donated his body to science'?
Who with the right mind would do that to his own body?


...When I die, I wish to my remains to be burned

Rare, medium well, or well done?

 

[Pimppeter2]

Lol why do they even have dead bodies

I wonder what happened to the people who got the fish instead of the corpse.

Your body is just a bunch of decaying meat after you are dead. Get over it.

And no, it's not like they're going to pretty much half mummify you before you even appear in open casket. Because there is a whole job concerned with that. Dead people don't look calm or nice. They are stiff, decaying corpses, husks of what once was people.

The mortician is going to mess with your body anyways, I can guarantee. And burning it is a waste of resources. If anything, you should let it rot for the sake of returning more shit back to soil.

I probably won't donate my body to science anyways, I hope it will be well used and fucked up by the time I die.

Oh no! I want to die beautiful. Is it possible to have a plastic surgery when I'm already dead?
Don't answer

'You're no boss of me! Take that, society.'

Verbal misscomunication? How the hell does "fish" sound like "human corpse"? I know some people dont pronounce things clearly but thats a big stretch.

You know, one time I ordered a pizza, and that happened.
I didn't want to wait a whole 'nother hour for a pizza, so I just signed the form and ate it.
Tasted just like pork
