I was surfing the web recently and came across the early Beacon Bee. Asinine, for sure, but some of that stuff was funny. Who can forget the saga of Foonty & Trowl?

Friendly's Fecal Fable (Boston, MA) June 17, 2004--Outbreaks of the virus associated with raw or undercooked poop served in Friendly's in Arlington, MA occurred this month. More than 5,000 patrons of a single Friendly's restaurant in the Boston area were exposed to Hepatitis A this month. The source of the Boston outbreak is still unknown, but Friendly's has removed poop from all recipes as a precaution.
