Subject: Chicago HHH Bans the Use of Flour

To: [anonymous group]



Hello hashers:



We are asking all hares to refrain from using flour on trail due to the

current Anthrax scare.  As many of you know, 2 of our hares were almost

arrested on Sunday after they were seen using flour, and that is not

something we ever want to happen.  Please follow the new guidelines

below, and use colored chalk, or in a forest preserve, use toilet paper,

streamers, or other creative stuff.  We will let you know when it is OK

to start using flour again.



Here are the *new* guidelines, thanks to M!



NEW, TEMPORARY GUIDELINES THAT WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND HARES FOLLOW..

1.  STOP BY THE POLICE STATION AND TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE LAYING A RUN

(NOT NECESSARY TO MENTION THE DRINKING/BEER STOPS).

2.  USE COLORED CHALK.

3.  AVOID FLOUR USE.   IN THE WOODS OR OTHER NON-PAVEMENT AREA, USE TP OR 

COLORED STREAMERS OR ANYTHING THAT'S NOT FLOUR-LIKE.

4.  IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WATCHING YOU LAY THE TRAIL, SWING BY AND TALK TO 

THEM, MAYBE GIVE THEM A CHHH BUSINESS CARD, AVAILABLE FROM MEISTER 

(ANOTHER GROUP WATCHING US ON SUNDAY ALMOST CALLED THE FBI, BUT SICK PUPPY 

SAVED THE DAY BY RUNNING OVER TO THEM AND FILLING THEM IN THAT WE WERE 

DRUNKEN FOOLS BUT NOT TERRORISTS).

5.  HASH CASH IS MEANT TO BE SPENT ON BEER NOT BAIL...



THESE ARE TRYING TIMES, WE WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL BUT FOR NOW A BIT OF 

CAUTION HELPS.  PLUS IT REALLY SCREWS UP THE TRAIL WHEN THE HARES GET 

ARRESTED!!!
