Worked as a newspaper reporter in Florida in 1997 where he covered a story about a woman who successfully sued after an employer withdrew a lucrative job offer after she ate two poppy seed bagels the morning of the interview. The poppy seeds led to a bad result on a drug test and a withdrawal of the job offer. The woman was awarded $859,000. Larry was interviewed about the case on a first-season episode of Mythbusters, where the stars set out to test the poppy-seed legend.
