That reminds me of an incident many years ago... I worked part time at a computer store in Alexandria, VA. One of my co-workers was a U.S. Navy Master Chief who worked at the Navy Research Labs. One of his lab coworkers asked him to buy a copy of a computer game with his employee discount and bring it to him at work. Pretty harmless, right?
The name of the game (IIRC) was The Haley's Project, or something else spacey - you flew from planet to planet within the solar system and at each stop you would receive a trivia clue to guide you to the next planet. Anyways, the manual was made up to look like a NASA guide and all the pages were printed with fake 'TOP SECRET' stamps all over everything.
Last I heard, the guy was still smuggling the manual out one page at a time - stuffed in his underwear - since the security checkpoint wouldn't let him take home anything marked TOP SECRET... :-)

When you're sending out a fragile mailing, be sure to put near the top an identifier that it is the top (with an arrow).

Then, to make things doubly clear, put another identifier near the bottom, with its own arrow:

That way, with up saying up, and dn for down, the UPS (pronounced oops) guys can't get it wrong.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base"
GENERAL REINWALD: "We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting".
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range".
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Don't you admit, that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"
GENERAL REINWALD: "Don't see how,..... we will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm".
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers".
GENERAL REINWALD: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?"
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
