Oh yes. I remember reading Homer's Odyssey about 40 years ago when I was in the 8th or 9th grade. Odysseus took 10 years trying to get where he needed to go but he had to fight a cyclops, a six headed monster, giant cannibals, and sirens, etc..
I bet The United States Postal Service didn't have to face giant cannibals to get McStitchy's package where it needed to go. The only excuses they can offer for the ridiculous routing that package took are negligence and incompetence. I'm glad it finally got there.
