BERLIN - (Around The Weird) -- Workers in a German post office in the eastern city of Chemnitz were startled on Wednesday when a package awaiting shipment began to vibrate and make a strange noise. The postal workers were worried that the package might contain a bomb and notified police.

Police brought the sender of the package to the post office. Further investigation found the package contained a life-size female sex doll with an electrical vibrating device deep inside an undisclosed location. The man told police he was returning the doll because it kept turning itself on at the wrong moment.

The package was finally neutralized, to the relief of the postal workers, when the embarrassed owner of the package removed the batteries from the defective doll.

At this time the name and race of the doll is unknown. Why the owner was worried about the doll turning itself on at the wrong moment was not determined.

Most would agree that the doll turning itself off at the wrong moment would be a far greater defect.
