from story:

am not a Christmas character, so I am allowed to know naughty words, and I thought of several after reading Susan Weich's account of the firing of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

The story was in Saturday's newspaper.

Laura Coppinger is the Sugar Plum Fairy. At least, she used to be. She played the role for the last six years during the Christmas Traditions festival in St. Charles.

This year, festival hiring came under the control of the city of St. Charles, and because all city employees are required to take a drug test, Coppinger had to go to a local testing facility to give a urine sample. She filled a cup and then flushed the toilet. She said she did so out of habit.

That makes sense.

But it turns out a person is not supposed to flush the toilet. That's because a person could use the incoming water to dilute their sample.

That doesn't make sense.

If water can dilute the sample, a person could use water that was already in the toilet. Or she could quietly run the tap.
