I remember how mortified I was when I learned that my Dad didn't have enough testosterone in his calling card to ward off the local veggie garden bandits.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) A man who sells his urine over the Internet is back in court as debate begins on whether the company he runs is legal.

Kenneth Curtis, owner of Privacy Protection Services, said he started selling urine sample kits on his Web site after he grew tired of drug testing at work.

The urine, which is supplied by Curtis, is contained in a small pouch with tubing. The pouch can be taped to the body and buyers who operate it properly can use it without being noticed by someone monitoring a urine test, according to Curtis' Web site.

The kit, which costs $69 plus shipping, also includes heat packets so the user can warm the sample to body temperature.

State Law Enforcement Division agents arrested Curtis in April on charges he was selling the urine kits to cheat on drug tests. He faces a combined maximum sentence of eight years in jail and a $15,000 fine if convicted.

The latest case comes as the state Supreme Court is weighing Curtis' argument that the 1999 law targets him and infringes on his constitutional rights.

''If you can't sell urine, what can you sell?'' Curtis asked. ''I don't sell drugs, I sell urine.''

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) Police officers thought they had sniffed out a methamphetamine lab. But the powerful ammonia stench coming from a vacant house was caused by the 40 cats inside.

Indiana State Police went to the house after receiving an anonymous tip from someone who thought the smell might be related to anhydrous ammonia, which is often used in methamphetamine production.

Troopers noticed the smell from 30 feet away when they arrived at the house. When they went inside, they found the cats living amid dirty water bowls, empty food trays and animal waste.

''They're in the walls, they're in the ceiling,'' said Cindy Keller, director of the Jeffersonville animal shelter. ''It's going to take a while to get them all.''

No evidence of drug production was found, police Sgt. Marvin Jenkins said.
