Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Ananova - Perfume sets off call-centre hysteria: "Thirty-four staff were taken to local hospitals in Fort Worth after Bank of America staff started complaining of dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pains and headaches, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Local fire chief Lt Kent Worley said that the situation started when two workers at the office said they felt dizzy after a co-worker sprayed some perfume.

When others started to complain of the same symptoms, panic spread through the building, with workers fearing they were under chemical attack or the victims of a carbon monoxide leak."

i love news items with no news in them. God forbid a journalist try and track down the name of the spray or who did it or why or interview a "victim" to get some sort of flesh and blood on the incident. i'd settle for some creative wirting, i dont even need the tryth. i'll settle for lies. just do something.
