it's not against the law to mail a box of bodily fluids,
as long as it's properly packed
and doesn't emit an obnoxious odor.
No one likes a speeding ticket.
But 47-year-old Michael Harold Lynch,
of Bellevue, Wash., apparently took his anger
to a new level when he emptied $206 in small change
into a plastic bag, soaking it in urine and
mailing it to the payments division of the
Multnomah County courthouse. Mailroom
staff handed over the box --
and the angry letter that accompanied
it -- to a sheriff's sergeant.
So the sergeant sealed up the box and
mailed it back to Lynch -- with $27.30 postage due
if Lynch wanted his change back.
a few weeks later a check arrived. But it was made
out to the wrong agency. Courthouse staff sent it back.
In February, a new check arrived, but this
time it was made out for the wrong amount: $206,
which didn't account for $65
in penalties for arriving late.
Last week, the state turned Lynch's case
over to a collection agency.
