Do you have cocaine in your pocket?

[ArlJim78]

most likely you do and don't know it. here's some good news (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/08/cocaine-money-washington-d-c.html), 90% percent of our dollar bills have traces of cocaine.

A new -- and strange -- study by the American Chemical Society has just revealed that nine out of 10 pieces -- as in 90% -- of the paper currency sampled around the United States recently contained traces of cocaine -- as in the illegal substance, which binds to the green ink.

Not surprisingly, the money was especially contaminated in bigger, more evil places like Detroit, Boston and Baltimore. Also in Miami, Orlando and good old L.A. All right around 100%. Mostly in $5s, $10s, $20s and $50s.

But get this: The contamination was nearly as bad -- as in 95% -- in Washington, D.C.


So during these tough times, for a cheap thrill you might want to sniff your bills.

Stephen Colbert had a great line about this "This should make the value of the dollar go up up up!"

Happened her a few years ago: fellow who NEVER had a drug positive all of a sudden got a positive saliva for Cocaine. He DEMANDED a blood sample be taken right away but was then refused. He swore that ANY drug must have come through someone touching the bit or tongue tie.

Over the next few days, several other trainers got saliva positives as well and there were wholesale suspensions. Realizing something sounded fishy a good friend who is a trainer and lawyer represented them in an appeal.

Using the standard ELIZA testing (enzyme linked immunoglobulin assay which are very sensitive) they showed that 19 out of twenty 20 dollar bills, chosen at random from the mutuels, were also positive for that "background noise" level of cocaine found positive on the tongue tie but negative for the blood samples. Tests were far too sensitive and were never backed up by the drug being found in the horse's system!!

The horsemen, only after losing many days, were exonerated but NOT without their names having been associated with drugs that was a complete snafu.
