I thought you'd appreciate the humor in these. Actually the first one's kind
of scary!! Just in case you think I made this stuff up the web site's at the
bottom.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is actively proposing that animal
carcasses with cancers,
tumors or open sores be regarded merely as unaesthetic but safe for
human consumption as
long as the offending part is cut away. The proposal is part of a
general loosening of
slaughterhouse inspection standards, whose public comment period ends
Aug. 29. One critic
already weighed in, saying she did not want to "eat pus from a chicken
that has pneumonia," but
also included as benign by the proposal are glandular swellings,
infectious arthritis and diseases
caused by intestinal worms.

In Their Own Words

Hubert Penrod Jr., on why the May promotion he had scheduled for his
Huge Hooter Haven
strip club in Nashville had failed to attract men who had come to town
for the Billy Graham
Crusade that weekend: "I know all the porn stars, but I don't exactly
keep up with preachers.
Hell, I thought Billy Graham was some singer or something. It never
entered my mind that (it
was) some preacher (who) was filling up the football stadium."
