	The Food and Drug Administration has just determined that saliva causes
cancer.  A spokesman said that people need not worry about the carcinogenic
effects of the substance unless they swallow small quantities of it over a long
period of time.
	In a related story, the Environmental Protection Agency has initiated
a billion-dollar research project studying the toxic effects of hydrogen oxide
(H2O), a chemical which is believed to be contaminating some of our lakes,
rivers, and streams.  Preliminary results indicate that it is most toxic when
ingested into the lungs.
	This just in:  The FDA has announced that, when the EPA study is done
a few weeks from now, it will research the possibility that hydrogen oxide is
behind the carcinogenic effects of saliva.
