We have similar versions locally. One says "I work at Hanford, I glow in 
the dark". Another was similar to "In case of power failure, I glow in 
the dark", and etc. The truth was I got a higher exposure flying above 
30K feet than I did at work. When I was going to school at the U of 
Utah, there was a coal fired plant across from the mobile home park 
that I lived in. I probably had a higher dose from it than any 
occupational exposure.

Some people worked in areas with substantial backgrounds but I could 
only visit some of these areas. None of the ones I had access to had 
really high background readings.
