I think that a good light-hearted commentary on the pump-the-rats-
full-of-mass-quantities testing procedures was issued by Saturday
Night Live Weekend Update reporter Bill Murray on a show some years
ago; it is on their album, but I will have to paraphrase 'cause I
don't have it here:

"Regarding our report last week of the influx of so-called Killer
Dope into the U.S. -- Weekend Update has been analyzing the samples
of marijuana being sent to us all week.  The conclusion reached was:

If you force a baby squirrel to smoke 700 Cannabis joints a day, he
WILL become disoriented, and seems to take the law of self-preservation
less seriously -- tending to play with his nuts rather than store them."

A little humor to break up the rather serious (but very useful) mood
of this newsgroup,
