Death to Canada!

Then the damage to them by putting this up in a few consumer shows could well be severe. But to get 340k for being a nutcase is pretty silly IMO. And that wasn't him overreacting I think, that was a court.

I think of the $340k as being punitive to Culligan, not as a reward to hydrophobic boy.

Hah. I used to work in a supermarket. Believe me, those produce guys aren't following sanitary procedures.

Nothing is "safe."

Then don't award this "fine" to hydrophobic boy...

fine by me.

'Nothing is "safe."'

Don't I know it. I was just kidding about dining out ... though they say never to look in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant. I am careful to wash food I prepare at home, especially being careful of chicken and pork and such. I also wipe off bottles before placing them in the fridge (mainly due to dust). I was repulsed the other day when the checker at the grocery store was messing with a bloody finger by trying to keep a tissue wrapped around the injury. I told him I'd wait for him to bandage himself but he insisted on bagging all my groceries first. Thanks a lot ... I hope he didn't pass any disease.

The closest I've had to that was once I made a glass of chocolate milk (chocolate syrup + milk) and it took half a glass before I decided that something wasn't quite right with it, it just had a very slight "odd" taste. I got the milk out and tasted some... it had gone really, REALLY bad, like spit it out all over the floor bad. Somehow the chocolate syrup almost perfectly masked the flavor of the spoiled milk, it was a while before I could drink milk again.

How about those cream mini-pitchers at coffee shops and such. People love to deposit things in there. Pouring away and out plops some mucus. An old nasty trick.

• I used to work at a smoked ham factory and when you dropped something on the slimy dirty disgusting floor, you just rinsed it off and make sure there are no chunks and off it goes.
  
• There's this other time we had to re-pack 6 month old expired ham for re-sale or something and the goo that oozed from the bag stunk like a sunnava bitch and looked and felt like... rhymes with fizz. Nasty. Glad I was makin' boxes that day!
  
• My buddy Scott worked at a factory that made bagged frozen vegetables, and a bunch oif snakes passes through the processing machine and ended up in the final product.
  
• My cousin russel once found a maggot in his Chunky Soup can.

I remember Hormel got themselves in a lot of trouble with that practice many years ago. I've never bought Hormel products since.

Snakes are probably the least harmful of what you listed but I wouldn't think that the Vegetarians care much for them.

That's normal. I had a girlfriend who worked for Hunts and her job was to do maggot count on the ketchup. There's an acceptable amount before they reject the product. Hmmm ... chewy.

Be careful guys, there's now Canadian case law to support my filing for damages against MURC for grossing me out.

Go for it, dude.. I think Technoid's volcanic ass pic qualifies.

[schmosef]

I'm glad to say I refused to look at that!

Umm.. don't be bashful. If you feel uncomfortable, say very loudly "DON'T EVEN ****ING THINK ABOUT TOUCHING MY FOOD WITH THAT FINGER!" Yeah.. draw some attention to the guy.. when the manager appears, chew him out about pressuring employees to work when they need first aid.

Grossest thread ever.. think I will take up farming so I can grow and process everything that goes in my mouth.. ick.

I'm sorry to say that I can't say the same.
