Just thought I’d share this bit o’ trivia…

If you saw last night’s Letterman show, he did a spoof on warning labels on food products. For a Gatorade bottle the label was “Contains 5% \_\_\_\_\_\_”

The “\_\_\_\_\_\_” was blurred out (censored) and the audio was cut out.

However, I happened to have the Closed Captioning turned on and that was not edited. It said “Contains 5% Alligator Urine”. Tee hee.

What, is Gatorade a sponsor of the network or something? 🙂

Phobos, you’re my new hero. I was wondering what that said.

“That’s more than 5%!”
