Tapeworm comedy!

From this excellent site: http://fray.com/drugs/worm

Comes this gem:

My doctor handed me a prescription for a single pill. Take it in the morning on an empty stomach, he said. This pill would kill the head of the beast, which needed doing since if the head wasn't killed, the tapeworm would continue growing and flourishing, and possibly with time begin making menu demands.

God, I love Cruel.com.

There is a hotel in mexico where I stayed at once where they gave you unlimited soda from your wetbar (all inclusive place). So one time, I'm drinking a pepsi, and I feel this weird solid-like thing in my mouth, so I spit it out into the ash tray. It was long and skinny and looked like it had little hooks on the end. Wether or not it was a tapeworm or some weird gellatenouse goop, I have sincce stopped consuming softdrinks bottled in Mexico.

I make sure to consume at least three cups of ditchwater from san cristobal in chiapas every day.

strangely, Montgomery County has the wrost water in the US, or so I here. Apparently, they over-chemicaled it.

That's one reason why I don't eat rare steaks.

I had a similar experience...I had purchased a can of beans from the Mexican foods (it was canned in Mexico) section of the grocery store. So I get ready to cook with them, and I open it up and rinse them off in a colander...to my surprise there is this 1 1/2 inch nasty earwig looking thing in the beans...maybe it was just one of those things, or maybe its that in Mexico their canning environment standards are not as stringent as in the U.S. Of course since I cannot back that up with hard data/facts, I'll vote that it was just one of those things that happens from time to time.

Though, I don't buy that product anymore.

I've read in the local paper that the "thing" most commonly found in Mexican sodas .... is loogies!! Guys on the line prefer hocking them into the empty bottles instead of on the floor of the factory.
