Boy... when somebody says something like that it's a sure sign that the conversation is about to go downhill. : ) I tell my little kids all the time that they should never stick a hand (or anything else) in a hole into which they cannot see (advice that can keep you alive in the desert). Perhaps I need to add 'never put anything in your mouth unless you know its origin'.

I wonder if John B. had ever spent much time around infants at the time of his incident- you pretty quickly learn to not assume that whatever that is on you might be chocolate or mustard or what-have-you... !

I inadvertantly tasted antifreeze the other day... mucho nasty stuff. Makes me wonder about those stories you hear about animals drinking it because it's sweet. Before anybody flips out, I know that it happens, I just don't see how they can get past the taste- sure didn't taste sweet to me. Maybe they put something in it now to make it undrinkable, or maybe it tastes that way after it's been in the radiator a while. (I was trying to blow some crap out of a funnel that had been in the radiator neck- I wiped it off with a clean towel but I guess it left some residue).

Cya, Robert
