"The emergency call was made at 11:13 Tuesday morning. A white powder had been found on the floor of the women's bathroom on the first floor of city hall.

"That triggered a response from fire, police and the health department," said fire department District Chief Jeff McNeel.

Fifteen to 20 emergency personnel showed up at the scene. McNeel sent in his specially trained hazmat team, dressed in Tyvek suits and breathing bottled oxygen, to take a sample. The health department stood by ready to analyze whatever was found.

With their portable hazardous material analyzer, the team took a sample and while on site was able to determine the substance actually was Gold Bond Medicated Foot Powder.

Life returned to normal at city hall. No one has stepped forward to claim responsibility for spilling the few tablespoons of powder in the bathroom, McNeel said."


if i see white powder on the floor of the restroom i would just think "powder". people are so damn panic-y. i think they like being like that. it makes everything interesting.

1. My mom's like that.

It's taken years for me to calm down as a result. I'm still not completely panic free.

2. I dunno. That Gold Bond is POWERFUL stuff.

3. Remember, if we have foot odor, the terrorists win.

Of course, this was in Beaumont. There is a dual-purpose Aggie/Beaumont joke, as follows:

"So this beautiful woman throws herself at this Aggie, and says, 'Do it to me where it's dirty and nasty!'

So he drove her to Beaumont."
