its funny how it was just a bet between bob and tom..... The story goes that they bob and harrison were doing some sort of songs together and tom was with orbison and he had left his guitar with harrison. So he called harrison and he and orbison went to see them and tom was like bob your such a great lyric writer write a song for us 4. Then bob said about what and i forget who but someone said just the first thing they saw which was handle with care becuase there was a box in there.
Still an amazing song
@chunkymonkey102 It wasn't a "bet". You have a few anecdotal bits sort of correct, but mostly not. All of this is well documented in interviews with Harrison himself. George needed a track to be the "B" side for a promo single release from his album "Cloud 9".

He didn't have anywhere to record it and you can't get studio time on 24 hours notice, even if you are George Harrison. But he knew Bob Dylan had a small studio in his home. Calling him up, Dylan said, "sure", he could come over and work on his song. So like magic, the 4 of them were placed at Dylan's that day. The only other strike of lightening was that George was picking up a guitar from Tom Petty he had lent him, and Petty also asked if he could "come along". Dylan asked Harrison what he was going to call the song, and since they were standing in Dylan's garage, George saw a box marked "Handle With Care" and said, "How about that?"
