Where's The Beef !?!?!?!?! - Part Deux ! ! ! !

So.
I get home from work last night...
And what do I see sitting at my front door???
ANOTHER large white cooler which looks suspiciously like the cooler we received just the other day full of Omaha Steaks meat !
YUP !
That's what it was !
I groaned "NOT MORE MEAT ! WE HAVE NO MORE ROOM IN THE FREEZER ! ! !"
I then looked at who it was from and didn't recognize the name...
Then I looked more carefully at the receipent address...
Not us !
Same number on the house....
Different street !
One street over !
So, in trying to be a good bunny I put the box in my car and off I go in search of my neighbor to deliver their meat.
My neighborhood is a bit confusing and has lots of twisty roads...
Finally I find the house and drive up the long, dark ominous driveway...
But the house is lit so I assume someone is home...
I ring the bell and wait...
In the freezing cold...
When I hear no movement inside I ring the bell again...
Wait...
Still nothing...
I lean back and see that the window downstairs is lit and think I hear voices.
Figuring maybe the bell wasn't working I knock.
And wait...
Still no answer.
As I'm about to give up I ring the bell once more.
I hear a woman inside yelling at someone that the bell rang "again" and maybe there was someone at the door.
DUH ! ! !
This dopey kid comes to the door and looked rather confused to see a semi-frozen Liz standing at his door with a large white cooler in her arms...
I explained that this was his meat and that they'd delivered it to our house by mistake - that I was a neighbor one street over.
He seemed to understand and finally took the 2 tons of beef off my arms thanking me and telling me how much they appreciated it.
I was like "No problem. Have a good night."
And headed out.
Karma - +1 good deed !
It was just slightly annoying that they kept me standing out there like some gimp.
Oh well.
At least that case of meat didn't turn out to be for us !
Could you imagine ?!?!?!?!?
