Saw some gooey white stuff in the bathroom this morning. The HazMat team said not to worry, it's just toothpaste.

Here in Nashville, one of the local TV news shows yesterday sent an interviewer and camera operator out to tape a lady and her car that she says "has stringy stuff all over it." She thinks that the "stringy stuff" has been "sprayed by jet airplanes." A somber-looking hazmat guy showed up, too, and said he didn't know what it was. Said it look to him like "stringy stuff."

People are going War Of The Worlds on this, folks.

You know, bird crap WOULD make an excellent delivery mechanism. I get hit with it at least twice a year.

At least the Nashville lady didn't call the Local Hazard Materials team to document her 'discovery.'

Well that settles it! I'm calling HazMat, cuz my car has enough Anthrax on it to qualify as a bio-weapon.

No doubt she was drunk and wandering around in North Lawrence.

What is a North Lawrence Martini? A beer with an olive in it.
