No, actually. I mean, I *would* if I could, I would even inhale.
But if I were to be caught I would lose my clearance, which would
be equivalent to losing my job, and Im working on something
wicked cool these days. Any halucinagens must be the legal
variety. {8^D

Amaaaaaaara! I looove this cartoon! Its one of about a dozen
I have on the wall of my cubicle: this one, another with a penguin
in a huge crowd of identical penguins, this one singing "I gotta
be meeee....", then of course the most common one around
our plant, the three rocket scientists looking forlornly at a
most unsuitable specimen, where one comments "Lets face it,
we are not exactly rocket scientists..." {8^D
There are these and several other Larson comics, at least
as many Dilberts, a few Calvin and Hobbes. This is how
we entertain ourselves. I have a home-made one which
I shamelessly stole from Ralph Merkle: a risk-payoff
matrix for cryonics. Youve probably seen some version
of it:
Suppose you perish. Then the risk/payoff matrix is thus:
cryonics doesnt work cryonics does work

That one always evokes comment. I really like this matrix,
it is soooo in-yer-face. I figure if it must be in some body
part, it might as well be your face. {8^D spike
