I was going to type this in from home, but my computer's on the
blink, so I'll have to summarize from memory.  I'll repost this
in more detail when my computer is well again.


A policeman in Dallas spent two sleepless nights worrying about his
future on the force after traces of morphine showed up in his urine.
His wife finally remembered he had come home late that night, and
on such occasions he usually downs a few Bagel Dogs in lieu of 
dinner.  The officer was cleared of suspiscion after it was determined
that the poppy seeds on the bagels were responsible for the "spurious"
morphine reading.  The officer didn't blame the system, just the
doctor in charge of the test.  However, he did say that it bothered
him that he was "presumed guilty before being proved innocent."


The International Buy A Clue Foundation (tm) will be taking donations
for the officer in question, as well as for other members of the
Dallas Police who are clue-challenged, clue-impaired, and terminally
clueless.  Just call 1-800-NOT-A-CLUE and have your credit card
ready.
