Fumed

This news story I read recently really isn’t ha-ha funny – people were hurting after all – but I find it rather weird funny. Plus, it fuels my dislike of artificial, specifically in the arena of fragrance, so here we go:

“At least 30 workers in a Texas office building were taken to a local hospital today (Wed, July 29, 2009) after two complained of chest pains and headaches from a strange smell near their cubicles. A hazmat crew feared it was a carbon monoxide leak, but later determined it was only a coworker’s strong perfume! “
