I Don’t Know What That Is But I Know I Am Afraid Of It, Whatever It Is

My newspaper tells me that in Louisiana at McNeese State University an entire building was closed down until further notice because of possible asbestos contamination.

The Smartfella fully supports such an extreme action because we can’t have those asbestos thingies crawling around inside our young students.

The late Paul Harvey just came into my Computer Room and said there may have been an over-reaction in this case. He says I should tell you, The Rest of the Story...

On the third floor of Kaufman Hall a single door was cut in half by contractors and, “There was a release of some material. It is possible that asbestos was inside the door”.

The Smartfella has several areas of concern that lean toward over reaction...

  • This is a building that is at least three stories high.
  • They cut open one single door.
  • They found “some material” was inside that one single door.
  • If there is concern about what comes out when they cut open one single door, don’t cut open any more doors.

Of course there was “some material” inside. There is some material inside of every door. Are they really afraid that the something inside the door might have been something?

Would I kid u?
