Ode de Toilet

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- At first, fire officials suspected that carbon monoxide or some other toxic fumes had sickened almost 150 people at a Texas bank call center.
It turned out that perfume was to blame.
MedStar ambulance spokeswoman Lara Kohl says 34 people were taken to hospitals, 12 by ambulance, after reporting dizziness and shortness of breath Wednesday at a Bank of America call center in Fort Worth. An additional 110 were treated at the scene.
Fort Worth fire Lt. Kent Worley says the incident started with two people complaining about dizziness after a co-worker sprayed perfume. Others reported being sick when an announcement was made that anyone with similar symptoms should exit the building.
Investigators do not know what type of perfume was sprayed.

I'll tell you what type of perfume it was. Poison. This person is a fragrance terrorist. It's not a new trend, you've seen it a hundred times walking through a department store. They want you to inhale the toxic fumes so that you'll buy stuff. That, or pass out on the floor and they'll drag you into their back room and do your make up so you look like a clown. Or maybe that is just what I'd like to do to someone.
