        Subject: pre-employment drug tests

        If I buy a car, is it okay for me to have a mechanic inspect
        it first?  If I buy a house, can a contractor look it over?
        When I make an investment, it seems only reasonable to me that
        I should be able to inspect the goods sufficiently to satisfy
        myself that I'm getting what I'm paying for.  In some cases we
        rely on trust and past experience.  I don't taste a Coke
        before buying it.  On the other hand, I don't know this job
        applicant from Adam.  I am about to make a major investment in
        the applicant, so I think I have the right to find out whether
        they have AIDS, terminal cancer, are alcoholic, use drugs, or
        any other habits that will increase the risk of my investment.
        These conditions may not affect the performance of the person
        on the job, but they may mean that I can't amortize my
        investment.

Yeah, and don't forget to pry open their lips and examine their teeth
(unless they're a real gift!), and why not ask them to bend over for a
little rectal exam.  Ooo, kinky, I'm starting to like this.  Can you
tell me where I can buy my pleasure slave?
