Fragile, please mangle with care

Have you ever noticed that packages marked "Fragile" always look like they've been attacked by a school of piranha? Lately all packages seem to have a mauled appearence but the ones marked Fragile are the worst for wear. The Fragile seems to irk those in the package handling business. Maybe it's not Italian but a secret, package-handler language that means "please use package for bowling."
