You are present at the make-shift emergency room in the dark reaches of the Amazon when your witch doctor (physician) friend receives a semi-conscious patient who has just been brought in with numerous clinical symptoms including nausea, vomiting, muscular weakness and paralysis.  The individual is an inexperienced jungle traveler from the United States who suddenly took ill.  He appears to have several scraps and puncture wounds on his back, arms and legs which is thought, by his rescuers, to be from loss of balance and disorientation in the rough jungle environment.  Your witch doctor friend looks over the patient and administers an acetylcholine receptor antagonist and the patient gets worse!  Your friend looks at you and smiles!  With some urgency, he then gives the patient a small dose of a pesticide that is sitting on the shelf in his poorly stocked or equipped “clinic,” and the patient improves significantly.  The pesticide is Malathion.  The witch doctor looks at you and says he knows the cause of the illness in the patient.  What caused the patient’s illness?   (Later, the patient drools a little bit while he claims to have lost his infestation of body lice!) Answer with one word, the name of the Toxicant.

For years, Graham worked for a Southwest Airlines as a pilot. When the stress got to him, he decided to simplify his life. He packed his bags and moved to Miami, Florida. Graham decided to start his own transportation and touring service for travelers. To accomplish his goal, he needed to purchase a small commuter plane. He only had one problem—money. Graham telephoned his very wealthy uncle in Chicago, Illinois to see if he would like a piece of the action. Graham proposed that he would run the day-to-day activities of the company, while his uncle would just provide a percentage of the capital. His uncle agreed, and Graham contacted an attorney to develop a written agreement.
