"What's your favorite Halloween candy?" Lyssa has most innocently asked.

I'm obviously twisted and keep twisted connections.  Speaking to lcsaph last night, she mentioned her concern that Bazooka Joe Bubblegum could be easily tainted with anthrax because it already has a familiar dusting of white (supposedly sugar) powder.

"What if..." lcsaph speculated, "one of these terrorists has been moleing it out undercover in the candy factory for several years just awaiting orders to slip a few pieces of tainted bubblegum into the mix every hundred pieces or so--candy now packaged for this year's Halloween sales??"

Not likely said I--but then who anticipated an attack by mail?

So what other vectors of attack are possible, if even improbable?

Amy Joy Donuts--watch out for the powdered ones!

Desenex--is it better to live with stinky feet?           

Tinactin spray--and you thought that crotch rot was the end of the world!

Snow--oh yeah baby, see that fine white powder falling outside? 

And didn't you just hear a plane fly overhead?

Dandruff--do you have it? 

I feel sorry for your new lost piece of mind. 

Cocaine--well, if your doing this, you probably deserve to die anyway. 

Well, not really, but your not going to win a whole lot of sympathy either.

and last but not least...

Disposable plastic gloves--you know, the ones everyone's wearing to handle the now possibly tainted mail? 

Yep, a good half of them are "pre-powdered" up.   Now wouldn't that be ironic?
