The prisoners read the label, the staff did not.

It’s Methyl Alcohol, or denatured alcohol, isn’t it? That will cause blindness.

Not if it's ethanol. And a lot of them are.

Well, at least maybe we’ll find out if the pig flu virus is designed to kill us off. I heard yesterday that 99% of providers are refusing to take pig flu shots. Now that there, that otta tell ya somethin ...

Then again, if prisoners start dropping from swine flu gel, I’m sure the authorities are not gonna pass that cause of death on to us peasants.

A school here in Texas has banned the alcohol based hand gel because they’re afraid the ‘children’ will drink it and it has enough alcohol to be considered a risk for alcohol poisoning.

What are the chances of that? I would say the risk of catching the flu is 100’s of times more.

I was surprised to find that people drink rubbing alcohol when it goes on sale.

Some of the kooks around here chased off Michael L King. He would have something like this on his “Just Damn” ping list.

Just “Damn”.

It’s amazing what hard-core alcholics will drink. I worked as a volunteer at a residential place that dealt with (sort of) recovered alcoholics, and every so often the less recovered ones would go off the rails, break into the pantry, and drink the flavoring extracts.

One of them drank the peppermint extract and nearly burned out his throat. It must have been like drinking Absorbine.

The urinals were probably the cleanest they had ever been.

Apparently someone in the prison system doesn’t understand alcoholics/addicts.

That stuff is nasty. A friend worked in a factory that dealt with a lot of peppermint. One day they had a spill, and had to evac the area around the building.
