Written and pictoral instructions for illegally mailing a mongoose: Figure 1-18 - Mailing a Mongoose. 1. Cut Some Holes in a Box Air holes should always be cut before placing a mongoose into a box. This can help prevent ruining a perfectly good mongoose. CAUTION: Mongooses are not known for their pleasant dispositions. Offenders attempting to put a mongoose in a box should expect a fight. 2. Put Your Mongoose in That Box 3. Make the Post Office Mail That Box At roughly 10 lbs., the average mongoose may be fairly expensive to mail. NOTE: Mongooses are known to emit a pronounced offensive odor due to secretions from their anal glands. The air holes will only increase the risk of a sharp-nosed postal worker discovering the contraband mongoose shipment. (This is from the book "How to be a Federal Criminal.")
