How to Get A Head in Trucking
CHICAGO — When the shipment of 18 human heads was first discovered at O’Hare Airport Tuesday morning, officials were shocked.
Shocked, that is, until they learned that it was all part of a regular medical shipment.
According to the Huffington Post and other media “the embalmed heads came from a research facility in Rome on a Lufthansa Airlines flight about a week before Christmas but a “paperwork snafu” snagged the shipment; the final destination of the three coolers was not clearly marked.”
Even though the heads still had the skin on them and were wrapped in plastic, there was nothing to be alarmed about.
How they were getting from the airport to the research lab remains to be seen, but there’s some certainty that the heads will move by truck.
It’ll be one of the few cases of a deadhead load paying for itself.
