you want good boom-boom?
(AFP) - A parcel which vibrated and made strange noises caused panic in a post office in eastern Germany before it was revealed that it was an inflatable erotic doll, police said.
"The post office worker thought it could have been a dangerous object, even a bomb," a spokesman for Chemnitz police said.
The police were called and noticed that the sender's address was on the package.
When they confronted the red-faced sender of the parcel, he explained it was a lifesize doll which he had folded up to send back to the manufacturers because it had failed to have the desired effect.
"He opened the package and expertly removed the batteries," said the spokesman. "It was rather embarrassing for the sender."
