>> bag). No, you need an authorization. So the guy blew a valve (in Serbian: his film broke), took a sheet of paper and wrote, as a CEO, an authorization to himself, as an employee, to pick mail for the company. That worked, he got his package.

>BTW, I liked the phrase 'his film broke' - presumably based on what happens when celluloid movie film jams - everything judders to a halt and starts to buble an melt ?

Exactly the image it was supposed to bring... the film is torn somewhere in the sprockets, the current frame is still there but not moving anymore, taking up all the heat from the projector's lamp, and you can see the projection of the plastic melting. Actually, the phrase is so widespread that this is exactly how the "Marathon family" movie ends.

Actually, not celluloid - it would burn. It's a newer type of plastic, don't know what kind exactly.
