That reminds me of a story.

A few years ago I was working in a furniture factory and the days news was about this robber that had broken into a house and was shot and killed by the elderly owner. One of my co-works knew the guy, he had always been a bully to him. The bully showed up at this guys house one day when they were about 10 demanding something to eat. So my buddy goes in the kitchen, opens a can of Alpo (dog food for those not familar) and made him a sandwich.

The bully like it so much he demanded a second one.   :laugh:
That's a great story Truman  ;D Did the bully ever figure out what he was eating? I never tried Alpo before, but I think I will pass on it  :D

they point out that USDA guidelines allow a certain amount of bug parts in all food....

*double gag*

(sorry if I grossed anyone out guys)


You're right Jess. There are guidelines somewhere that tell how many bug parts can be included. But they are a good source of protein, right  :)

Truman,

This really is a lovely poem. I put my other thoughts surrounding it over at the Yahoo group. But I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy what you have written. Your writing is direct and unadorned. You manage to capture a basic innocence and humbleness in this man. Someone who unwittingly became the subject of something so enormous. And I think your poem speaks for all of us when you offer to meet this Unknown Man for a drink.

Milo

Milo, I would love to post what you wrote back in responce to the poem on the list, may I?
