Box, Needs a Car

That's what bike messengers tell their dispatcher if a package is too big to carry. Unlike those who might use a breadbox as a standard ("Is it bigger than a breadbox?"), couriers measure boxes against a case of beer - to be more precise, the "two-four".

So, the usual cry is, "it's a box, the size of a two-four, too big for a bike, needs a car!"

Next time I hear that, I'll show them this photo of Sam, happily carting two dozen beer on his back.
