shipping nitrogen

I can certainly believe at least half of that story is true. But why wouldn't the guy just say it's not pressurized? (Probable answer: Saw a more fun, and possibly easier, way out.)

I think you're giving the shipping clerk too much credit. The guy heard that it was a gas and simply mentally turned to "Regulation #nnn: we don't ship gases". Plus, of course, the dewar was *empty*. I've missed a few lines of the story because it's in my cube at work, so I've forgotten details.
