The company also apologized for its lack of knowledge of Islam.
Mikami said the tread was designed by computer to maximize driving
safety and was not meant to blaspheme Allah.

WEIRDNUZ.235 (News of the Weird, August 7, 1992)
by Chuck Shepherd
* A questionnaire that White County (Ark.) welfare
officials required each single mother to complete as a
condition of receiving benefits called for the
following information: when and where she first had
sexual intercourse with the child's father; how often,
when, and where after that first time; parties attended
with the father; names of any motels, bars, or other
places she went with the father; names of all other men
with whom she had sexual intercourse while seeing the
father; and the regularity and starting date of her
menstrual periods before the pregnancy. Use of the
form was discontinued after the Arkansas Democrat-
Gazette brought it to the attention of state officials.
[Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Jun92]
