Glad to see plod are so well informed ....

Reading this vaguely reminded me of a story I read a while back, about
a network manager who bought a wireless router, and put it on his
desk. His co-worker started to complain about headaches and feeling
ill, and told the manager the router was making her ill ...

"Ah yes" said the manager. "I must get round to plugging that in ...."

Actually, if you are a heroin addict and you take a maintenance dose (and for
someone who has been addicted a long time, that's a fairly large dose), then
you aren't impaired.  In fact, if you *don't* take your maintenance dose, then
you *will* be impaired.

Once a junkie has been addicted long enough, the heroin is just restoring
normality, not getting him or her high.

"I think that the war on drugs is domestic Vietnam.  And didn't we learn from
 Vietnam that, at a certain point in the war, we should stop and rethink our
 strategy, ask `Why are we here, what are we doing, what's succeeded, what's
 failed?'  And we ought to do that with the domestic Vietnam, which is the war
 on drugs."
