Subject: the Masked Mouth is at it again
There are currently SEVERAL FALSE health related RUMORS going around.
Here's what I overheard near a floodlight on a tall building in Gotham:
" Well, gee whilikers, Batman, I guess this means it's another
nefarious rumor by the Masked Mouth!"
"Yes, Robin, people hear these and then they believe them and tell
lists all the juicy -- all too false -- details"
"Gadzookes, Batman! After seeing over and over again that something
like 90% to 95% of the rumors that circulate are false you'd think
they would realize!"
"No, Robin! People want to help and they think that if they hear
something from a well-meaning soul who is upset that those things
must have foundation, so they forget that in fact the Masked Mouth
may have begun yet another salacious slander, as is USUALLY the case."
"Golly Gee Gooeywogs, Batman! What can people do to help foil the
Masked Mouth?"
"That's easy, Robin! Before they pass something along they can
VERIFY what they have been told. It unmasks the Masked Mouth -- or the questionable statements -- most of the time!"
If you hear a health rumor do not panic. Check it! Usually they are
false, so find out first before accepting it as fact or reading anything into it.
