What, you don't routinely stash pipe bombs in your suitcase and uncover them later when you travel? :cool:

The informal survey on the MSNBC site had 89% of the respondents saying no, they didn't believe that explanation--but since there were nearly 23,000 people answering that poll, you may find a lot of prospects for that bridge among the 11% who did swallow that excuse...

Uh huh. Reminds me of that baseball player (long name that starts with a "P") recently who insisted he's never intentionally taken steroids. (How do you unintentionally take steroids? I say scratching my head.)

In theory, you could take a vitamin compound or similar thing that -- unbeknownst to you -- had had steroids added.

In theory.

I suggest making the pipe out of chocolate. Sending it up on a Labor Day fireworks skyrocket and when it explodes everybody gets extra chocolate sprinkles on their ice cream cones. Or just close your eyes, tilt your head back and open your mouth. If the chocolate is unsweetened then add raisins and peanuts to the black powder. As Emeril says, "Bam!". a.k.a. Airborne Gorp

I think you're being affected by the heat... but I love the idea.

Heck, these days you're probably getting a pretty good dose of steroids in the MacBurger you had for lunch!
