I'll start........

A Dallas woman filed a lawsuit Tuesday requesting the name of the person who mailed her a bag of pen*s-shaped gummy candies at work.

Melody Lenox, who works for Axxess Technology Solutions, a health care technology company, received the package of candies from a company called Dicks By Mail on Dec. 7.

Neither Lenox nor the attorney representing her and Axxess in the suit, Christopher Groves, were immediately available for comment.

In the suit, Lenox says someone sent her the package to harass her. She says the person who sent the package might also be responsible for keying her car and posting a series of hoax Craigslist ads about her.

She's suing the mail-order company for the information of the person who sent her the package, so that she "can put an end to the harassment" she says she's suffered.

The suit asks Dicks By Mail for the name, telephone number, address and any other identifying information about the person who sent the package.

Dicks By Mail is one of a number of sites that allows people to send items such as glitter or a potato anonymously. The product description on the Dicks By Mail site notes that both the recipient and purchaser must be 18 or older.

The terms of service cautions senders not to harass anyone with the candy and states that by purchasing anything, the site and those associated with it are released from liability except the purchase price or $50. Disputes will be resolved in the store's local county state or federal courts, it states.

"Our products are a lighthearted and humorous joke designed to amuse the recipient. By purchasing our products you represent that you are not using them to harass the recipient in any way or for any unlawful purpose," the site FAQ says. "If you are not completely sure the recipient will understand the comedic novelty of our products, do not send."
