[ RadSafe ] More "protection"

[Maury Siskel]

And don't overlook the devastation wreaked upon your credit cards and 
anything else with formerly magnetic strips in your pocket if you forget 
to remove them. Quite a jolt when a store 'runs' your card after that.  
<g>  But not to worry, no differments; pretty soon PRI's will replace 
the terrible dangers of MRI's -- psychic resonance ....   <g>  be 
prepared to select your favorite witch doctor.  Come to think of it, I 
didn't know that witches ever got sick ....
Cheers,
