CNN.com - Homesick man who flew as cargo recounts journey - Sep. 10, 2003 I loved this story when I read it yesterday. Guy packs himself in a crate and sends himself by plane across country. When the delivery man brings the crate to its delivery point, the man pops out of the crate, thanks the delivery man (scaring him half to death) and walks away. The delivery man then called police. In the article, he talks a little bit about the situation. But the best quote comes from District Attorney Bill Hill: "He violated the law of stupidity if nothing else."
