Great joke by a fella who calls himself Penguin Pete, who writes about Linux operating systems and stuff of a geeky nature. It had me going for a minute:
(CNN) -- Every day, nearly 90,000 people in the U.S. reach for a cup of coffee or tea, a soda, or an energy drink, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
And of those, thousands become caffeine addicts for life.
Now, in an effort to fight the war on all addictive drugs -- especially when it comes to children -- the FDA is issuing a new rule titled Prohibition of All Caffeine and Caffeinated Products Act.
The rule, which became effective March 31, completely prohibits the possession and sale of all caffeinated products, such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, sodas and soft drinks containing caffeine, and even over-the-counter medications containing caffeine such as stimulants and dietary aids.
This will make caffeine a Class B controlled substance, exactly like cocaine and other illegal stimulants, with the same mandatory jail sentences for possession and distribution ...
Muahahaha!
Gotta be a joke. Can you imagine the problems it would cause my plumbing after I flush a couple of pounds of coffee beans down the john when the police knock on my door?
