Beefcake's double-dumb

If he'd ever had any talent at all, it'd be a sadder story.

The Pro Wrestling Torch and Boston Herald report that former WWF superstar Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake (né Edward Leslie) caused an anthrax scare last Sunday by leaving his cocaine on the counter of the booth where he now earns $25,000 a year as a subway toll collector. The mysterious white powder provoked an emergency hazmat response and the evacuation of the MBTA's Downtown Crossing subway station. Beefcake, who limited the damage by immediately fessing up to owning the coke, doesn't face any criminal charges, but has entered drug rehab.

Poor guy. It's probably not even his fault he's hooked on the stuff. That evil Mr. Fuji was constantly throwing white powder in the good guys' faces. We thought he was just trying to blind them. Who knew he was deliberately subjecting them to dangerous drug addiction?
