Every year or so, a representative of the Food and Drug Administration drops in on the Smiling Hill Farm in Maine. No big deal, just checking and on his way. Except this time was different: The inspector spied a batch of Smiling Hill Egg Nog and discovered, to his dismay, that eggs were not listed as an ingredient.
Now, everybody knows egg is an allergen, and so it must be explicity listed as an ingredient somewhere on the one-and-three-eighths-inch-wide cap.
Warren Knight protested: "The cap says Egg Nog!"
Big deal. The inspector told the Maine Department of Agriculture all egg nog on store shelves -- about 400 gallons at that point -- had to be recalled to protect people with allergies who don't know there is egg in egg nog.
Yeah, right. Next you'll be telling us there is maple in the maple syrup and lobster in the lobster.

Did you ever wonder...
Why sun lightens our hair but darkens our skin?
Why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

My favorite phrase today is red-faced smarts. N., no, not that kind of smarts. Def.: The combined embarrassment and pain when caught publicly plucking your nose hairs.
