> 2. This isn't a joke, it's a news story.
The article, however, is neither, but an urban legend, quite possibly originating as a joke:
http://www.snopes.com/crime/safety/biscuit.htm
And as the web site astutely observes (Judy will be pleased by this): "This legend popped up again on the Internet in early 1999 as a true 'dumb blonde' story, attributed to the Associated Press."
I propose we petition to said website asking them to change this text to "...early 1999 as a true 'dumb San Diego story'", thus avoiding much further grief on this and similarly sensitive mailing lists.
Anyway, we should all be busy writing snapshots, which surely is the poetic equivalent of spilling brains.
Yours,
A blonde in the land of blondes,
