Only In Kentucky
DATELINE: FRANKFORT, KY The liquid had an "unusual odor," and the supervisor triggered a standard procedure for reacting to spills or other foreign substances at the lab, Deputy Health Commissioner Dr. Steve Davis said.But what may you ask was the mystery substance which required closure of the lab? -- Animal urine
Dear friends, obviously lab personnel in Kentucky have skills similar to their basketball players (all Hoosiers will undertsand what I am talking about) While animal urine is disgusting -- I would be too ashamed ever to appear in public again if, as a laboratory person, I misidentified it as a grossly hazardous substance requiring the implementation of full emergency protocol.
What an enormous waste of resources! And what a way to kill a wonderful practical joke, which is no doubt what really happened.
