Hi Kirk,

     I've been trawling old usenet posts in search of the answer, but
     nothing definitive came up, so I'm wondering if you've got
     something to say about this. Naturally, this is a long time ago, so
     it might not be easy to remember.

     There's a UNIX MAGIC poster [1], which is quite famous, and as is
     clearly labeled on it, it's from UNITECH. However, that's not what
     I'm asking about (otherwise, I'd be barking up the wrong tree).
     What I'm wondering about is the rather aprocraphyl-sounding story
     of the oregano in that poster referring to a story about a BSD
     developer at CSRG who was found to have a green semi-powdered
     substance in their car when traveling across the U.S. border, only
     for it to turn out to be oregano instead of anything else it
     could've been. Do you know if there's any truth to this story?

     The only sources [2] I have for this are people who've heard it
     from people, but nobody talking about it around the time it was
     created seems to have a direct source or direct knowledge.

     I hope you can help, but I understand if it's hidden somewhere in
     the depths, unable to be coaxed out. :)

     Yours hopefully,
     Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
