on Oct 16th, 2006Grandma, Is That a Fruitcake or an Explosive?
As Christmas approaches, beware of what you mail, especially if it’s a fruitcake. Some people take their fruitcakes personally.
In December 2002, Greene showed up at the Magnolia post office to mail fruitcakes to relatives and friends when, her lawsuit says, a postal worker asked her, “What kind of explosives do you have in here?” before shaking the box.
In the lawsuit, Greene said others in the post office laughed at her, leaving her upset and in tears. She said she tripped over a concrete parking barrier outside and fell, breaking her glasses and chipping a tooth.
