*By Frank “Moose” Quarters*

I’m writing to take issue with all the blowhards that can’t handle their MtBE. When I was a college junior I drank a case and a half of Busch beer in one night of partying. In addition, I won $16.25 by chugging a 6 oz. jar of spicy, chunky salsa (Pace Picante, I believe) and never got sick. I may even have had a shot or two of Jagermeister. Never heaved.

Now I’m reading about people getting all up in arms about fluoride in their water? Take it like a man, already. Try stomaching a jar of deliciously roasted peppers and cayenne after a night of out-and-out debauchery. At least your teeth will be white. Mine, not so much.
