Deliveryman read my mind!

I just received a delivery. The package was delivered by Ninja Van. This morning, I received an SMS informing me that the package would arrive today. I knew I wouldn't be at home when it arrived, so I thought that I would ask the deliveryman to stick it into the letter box, and if it couldn't fit, he could toss it into the front porch. (Other deliverypeople have done it before!)

There is a pile of smooth pebbles (large pebbles though) at one side of my porch, and I thought that it would be good to ask him to try tossing the package there. (The package contained nuts, so it would be better if it didn't end up on the ground.) But when he called, I first told him to try passing it to my neighbour. He siad there was no one home, and he suggested tossing it beside the car. Of course I agreed, but I felt embarrassed to ask for such precision to throw the package on the pebbles (it was a good 1-2 metres in from the gate too!)

And when I reached home, lo and behold, the package was sitting perfectly in the middle of that pile of pebbles, exactly where I would have wanted it to be. There was a long hose looped up on the pebbles, and the box even made it into the middle of that. Bulls-eye!
