Mrs. Twist, a teacher in our successful public schools, reported the latest scare. According to "official" mail, young women are getting drunk without drinking. To foil breathalyzers, they are soaking tampons in Jack Daniels. The alcohol is absorbed faster as another benefit.
Reaction to this email was skeptical. Fellow educator Denise suggested that this was nonesense, "no girl would use a JD saturated tampon because it would burn."
