Sending improperly labeled and packaged pathogenic biological specimens through the mail is of course not a good idea.

How about anthrax? Bombs? Or other dangerous things.

I'm not a legal expert but I think you can get in a lot of trouble for that sort of thing.

Honestly, though, I can think of several scenarios where that prank could end extremely badly as well.

I guess that's what happens when we get old.

You know how the Phelpses make their money? Lawsuits!

If you sent Fred Phelps a box of dog shit he would track you down, he would sue you repeatedly, and he would win repeatedly.

Save yourself a lot of time and trouble: if you decide to send Fred a box of dog shit, just sign the deed to your house over to him and put it right on top of the shit. He'll get it anyway and this will save you from having to go to court.

What would be FAR more entertaining is to assemble an organization...in the military we called the people who stayed on base when everyone else went to the field the "rear guard," so in that vein we'll call our organization the Queer Guard. Now, how this will work is simple: We get the names of two hundred people, at least 100 of which are men (the reason will be obvious in just a second) who are willing and able to travel on a moment's notice. When we find out where one of Fred's demonstrations will be, we deploy the Queer Guard. The Queer Guard will form into two platoons. First Platoon is all men. Second Platoon can be a mixture of men and women. There will also be a commander. When Phelps gets his people and their hateful signs in place, First Platoon forms into a single line and surrounds the WBC people. Second Platoon surrounds First Platoon. Do it very military-style; everyone stays in step and marches at the position of attention. When the platoons are in place, the commander calls "Platoons, ready!" and every other member of First Platoon turns to face the man behind him. The commander then calls "Platoons, execute!" and two things happen: Second Platoon faces out away from First Platoon, and First Platoon's members immediately commence French-kissing. They continue until the Phelpses flee.

Not that I would advocate anyone doing such a thing.
