CHANGE SOME OF THE WORDS AROUND AND IT SEEMS PRETTY STUPID, DOESN'T IT? ...

 

LANSING, Mich. -- A Michigan health care company has fired four of its employees for refusing to take a test to determine whether they eat oreos.

 

The company enacted a new policy this month, allowing workers to be fired if they eat oreos, even if the oreo eating takes place after-hours, or at home.

The founder of Weyco Inc. said the company doesn't want to pay the higher health care costs associated with eating oreos.

An official of the company -- which administers health benefits -- estimated that 18 to 20 of its 200 employees were oreo eaters when the policy was first announced in 2003. As many as 14 of them quit eating oreos before the policy went into effect.

Mmmm ... oreos and milk. What is that black stuff anyway?
