"Northwest Airlines has banned sugar substitutes and non-dairy creamers from its airplanes to avoid anthrax scares sparked by the white, powdery substances." ROTFLOL! -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes but you can still bring your own onboard, though "its not recommended" by the airline. Hysterical in both senses.

Does that mean they're switching over to actual milk or cream for coffee? At least there's some good coming out of this :-)

Just half-and-half, not cream. Anything over 50% cream is now an assault dairy product.

"WASHINGTON (Routers News Service) Because of false alarms involving the confectioner's sugar on powdered donuts, sale of so-called "assault donuts" will henceforth be restricted to law enforcement officers. "Cops have always been the largest consumers of donuts, this just makes them the _only_ legal purchaser of this particular kind of donut," said Department of Donuts spokesman Ring Annulus." --Tim May "The State is the great fiction by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else." --Frederic Bastiat

Don't laugh, there was an actual news item along these lines on Thursday. After truth, powdered donuts are always the second casualty of war. Then again, switching to crullers could be giving in to exactly what the terrorists *want* us to do. Thursday October 18 11:56 PM EDT Powdered Doughnuts Make Customers Nervous The anthrax scares has caused people to call 911 over bird droppings, talcum powder and laundry detergent; and now even their morning doughnut is making some people nervous. Specifically doughnuts with powdered sugar are being affected at a DeBary doughnut shop. People can find glazed, chocolate, cinnamon crumb, and jelly-filled doughnuts but not a single one with powdered sugar. "Because people are afraid of them. They're afraid of the powder on the doughnut," employee Marie Cavalho said. The manager of the Go For Donuts shop banned powdered pastries after a steady customer picked up five-dozen on Monday, took them to a meeting and then called to change the order. "We said why? He said they won't eat them, they're afraid of them," Rosemary Dorazio said. "They're afraid the powder might contain anthrax." But the women who work the counter said that powdered sugar is simply powdered sugar and the baker is the only one who touches the doughnuts before they are set out for sale. Still, the manager wanted customers to feel comfortable. "If it makes them happy and at-ease why not give them what they want?" employee Marie Carvalho asked. The manager said that powdered doughnuts will stay off the shelf until customers ask for them.
