One of the great things about our job is that we have the opportunity to learn new things every day.

Today I learned that a person has to be allergic to asbestos before he can develop cancer from it. This steaming nugget came from a Realtor©

I've extrapolated this data to conclude that you can only die from a gunshot if you're allergic to lead.

Well...that's just cool! I have no history of allergic reactions to beef or cow-hide. So I'm thinking Pamplona this July and, evidently, no need for all that tiresome running and dodging.

I'm allergic to cats which means cats contain asbestos, therefore, cats cause cancer.

I'm developing an allergy to the humor on this site. It's making coffee spurt out thru my nostrils.

I am alergic to coffee spurting through my nostrils. I wonder if it is the precursor to drowning?
