As long as we're having fun and off topic, I have found the containers that
the soup comes in when you order Chinese food are great for transporting
animal by products to the vet. . .

Ugandhar,
Please do not apologize... your question posed no
inconvenience
whatsoever... you'll find that most of the members of this
group welcome
an occasional off-topic post... Also as a bystander I failed
to see any
invective or damaging remarks... some people enjoy to have a
little fun
once in a while... and I am no exception... good luck in
your search for
a third-party drug testing interface vendor...
Tony DeLia
PS - For those who aren't searching for a drug testing
vendor but may be
involved with similar drug or health-related tests I have a
suggestion...
If your test is urine based make sure the lid is securely
attached to
the container if you are transporting the specimen... you
wouldn't want
unsightly spots on the seat of your Ford Explorer or other
vehicle...
If you have cats and need to transport samples to the vet's
office make
sure you use a zip-loc baggie or other secured container...
this
promotes security and freshness...
Above all "Say NO to Drugs"... maybe this post has some
value in
society...
I admit this post isn't worth reading (for some) but I
myself like an
occasional smile... plus I'm a little bored a the moment...
now I'm
ready to continue working!!!
