Monty Python cackles on the tube and Michael Smith from Leicester, England cracks up as he takes in his nightly dose of British humor (or humour as they say over there) like an addict in a methadone clinic. No one else in the room gets the joke...

Even if a person is exposed to a very low dosage of dioxin, repeated exposures have the same effect as one massive dose. Some scientists also speculate that dioxin may build up in the body fat producing toxic effects when the fat is broken down by weight loss. Accumulation would explain the characteristic symptoms of dioxin that occur years after a veteran served in a sprayed area...
Most people are unlikely to find such observations very convincing or useful.
