Last night, the local media was beside itself because there was an anthrax scare at the downtown postal sorting facility. Apparently, a letter got caught in a sorter, ripped open, and a bunch of white powder spilled out. Chaos ensued, and two workers were taken to the hospital, where they were immediately put on antibiotics. Turns out the letter was mailed from a boyfriend to a girlfriend, and the white stuff was just baking powder or something. The boyfriend apparently thought he was playing a hilarious practical joke. Wonder how hard he'll be laughing in the local FBI interrogation room. Note to Dumb People Whose Senses of Humor Have Not Yet Progressed Beyond a Third-Grade Level: Anthrax jokes via the U.S. Mail are a) NOT FUNNY, and b) a good way to get yourself arrested.
