Man takes sleeping pills, accidentally orders a yak online

http://www.aol.com/article/2016/04/14/man-takes-sleeping-pills-accidentally-orders-a-yak-online/21344339/

We've all made an online purchase or two that we regret. Those fuzzy, light-up slippers? Could have lived without them. A phone case with Nicolas Cage's face on it? Also, quite unnecessary.

One man recently set the bar for shameful online buys, however, when he purchased a yak in the middle of the night whilst high on sleeping pills.

To back it up, a proof of purchase was uploaded by a friend of the unlucky recipient, and has since gained over a million views on Reddit.

As the receipt shows, the transaction for a Golden Tibetan Yak Cow occurred at 1:57 a.m. for the low, low price of $3075.99.

before I read the story. STAY AWAY FROM AMBIEN, PEOPLE.

Why it is still legal, I can't imagine. My normal sister in law took it once, went to bed and woke up in the hospital. She had been picked up by the police because she'd been wandering around the neighborhood in her nightgown trying to get into people's houses and cars.

I was originally prescribed the 10 mg. tablets, and had similar reactions, although not as dramatic.
Doing stuff I had no memory of, etc.

When my dose was dropped to the 5 mg. tablets, I have not experienced those effects.

They figured, what the hell, why not? Old times.

Two weeks after returning home, a like sized Kokopelli showed up at their door. Neither remembers buying it.
