The powdery white substance …

This whole anthrax thing is getting way out of control now. People are flipping out and going crazy. First off, let me say that it’s scary to think that you could open a piece of mail and end up infected, but I think common sense should give you a pretty good idea of what to do.

There was a notice from law enforcement on what to look for when receiving “suspicious” packages. They warn not to open packages that have a sender that you dont recognize – maybe I could say that I dont recognize my VISA bill. Haha. Then they say that you should be suspicious of packages from out of state – maybe Trenton should be at the top of that list – and also of packages with ALOT of packing tape all around them. Okay, I can see that that could be a problem. But then they went on to warn that if you see wires hanging out of the package or hear ticking, you should also be suspicious. Erm. No shit. Now, there are alot of stupid people in the world, but if I hear my package ticking or see wires hanging out of it, that puppy is getting dropped off the nearest bridge and into the Bay.

Anyhow, I’ve also heard that now people are playing Anthrax jokes on other people. I was told that a couple of people put an envelope filled with laundry soap on a coworkers desk and when the guy opened it he nearly peed his pants. I dont think Anthrax is something to fool around with at a time like this.

So, all I can say at this point is to be careful when you open your mail and if there are wires sticking out or its ticking be suspicious of the package. Erm.
