death by shopping

It's a very dangerous world and I'm not even talking about the men who boarded the Amsterdam-bound airplane but suspiciously sent their luggage that contained a bottle of Pepto Bismal taped to multiple cell phones and watches on to Dulles Airport.  You can't make this stuff up.  No, I'm talking about a new study commissioned by the Environmental Working Group, in which 40% of receipts were found to have the harmful BPA chemical on them.  It seeps into your skin and cannot be washed off.  Decline receipts whenever you can.  And when in doubt, just do what I do and zip yourself into a latex hooded body suit whenever you leave the house.  Honey, has my latex suit been tested for BPA?
