    Where did you find this? The paper looks quite crumbly.

    Well, hey why not? That's definitely a funny story. Reminds me of the comedian talking about the guy who had a house made out of hemp. "Uh, hey man, your house is on fire!" "Duuude, I knoooowwww. Ain't it grrreat!?!"

    Also kinda reminds me of a pig train that derailed just north of my hometown in the mid-80's. It was full of Campbell's soup so me and my mom went out there a ripped all the labels off of the smashed cans so I could use them for our soup label drive at school. Nobody said a word...we were with my dad and I think he was out there taking some supplies to one of the welders that I presume they contracted out to help cut up some of the wreckage or whatever.
