Couriering an unproductive old man in a gunny bag to his ancestral home

BENGALURU, Mar 23: This happened in real life at a courier agency office in Bengaluru last week: As a matter pf routine, the courier staff asked the customers what is inside their bag.

Meanwhile, one of them opened it to see the goods inside, as is the practice. And lo! There from poped up a bewildered, shriveling old man, asking for water!

The clients, all of a famiiy, were not apologetic, they instead demanded of the couriers the gunny bag be sent to the unproductive man's own native place in Mangaluru.

Later, when the police questioned them they claimed they were only highlighting the soaring bus fares.
