If he went by Fed Ex, they'll never find him. Like many other things, he'll be lost forever.

I can understand him being able to fold himself up to fit in an envelope-but how in the hell did he lick the flap and seal it? Let alone drop the envelope in a Mailbox?

crazy... but really, how did he seal the carton? He had to have had a helper with a roll of packing tape.

Can't blame the guy for trying whatever he can to get out of a Turkish prison on a drug charge. Especially after seeing the movie "Midnight Express."
I wonder how much he weighed? Since he was a drug dealer maybe he was able to lose a lot of weight with diet pills and speed.
Someone ought to market a new diet based on this guy's story -- "The Turkish Fed Ex Diet" -- 'cause women will try any new diet as they're always looking to lose 10 more pounds. Whoever markets that diet needs to be sure to include the diet pills and speed along with it. He'll make a fortune.
