Subj : Meat, Medicine, & More To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Sat Mar 12 2022 16:08:00 George, GP> Just heard this about Outback Steakhouses in Texas: If you go into GP> Outback Steakhouse in Texas & order anything but a steak, they take GP> you "out back." (ouch!) Never mind wanting the bloomin' onion. :P That reminds me of the joke where this guy walks into a bar, and there is this rather calm bull, just laying on the floor. There is a huge jar of money on the counter, and the customer asks the bartender what's going on. The bartender says "It costs you $5 to enter the drawing...if you make the bull laugh, you win all the money". So, the customer pays his $5, goes over to the bull, and whispers something in his ear. The bull starts laughing uncontrollably...like when you've heard a hilarous joke. The bartender says "Well, it looks like you're the winner"...and he gives him the jar full of money. The following week, he goes back in there, and there's the bull, as calm as ever...and another jar full of money. Again, the customer asks him what's going on, and the bartender says "It's a new contest...this time, you have to make the bull cry". So, the guy pays his $5, and asks the bartender if he can take the bull to the bathroom. Apprehensive, the bartender says "You're not going to hurt him??", and is told "Of course not". So, he takes the bull in the bathroom, and moments later, he and the bull come out, and the bull is sobbing like his favorite heifer had died. The bartender says "Well, it looks like you win again. But, before I let you have the money...would you mind telling me how you won??". The customer smiled, and said "First, I told the bull I had a bigger pecker than he did...then, I proved it". GP> At the farmer's market; my fave booth's owner gave mea fresh pod of GP> English peas -- too fibrous for me -- I prefer the garden peas , raw GP> in pods -- nice & sweet & when I chew it, it disintegrates, unlike the GP> English variety, when I'm left with a wad of gum that's seemingly made GP> of sisal. I forgot to get a deal like that for a casserole the other day, as I was limited on funds, and wanted to get good deals. So, I got these 3 minute pizzas, bags of chicken nuggets, lunch meat, single cheese slices, and ketchup. It still cost $75, but with bonus fuel points, and filling out a survey, I'll have 20 cents a gallon off the next time I have to get gas for the car. The other day, at $4.20 a gallon (mid-grade), it took $46 to fill up the car. It'll probably be above $5 a gallon the next time I fill up. I saw a meme that noted "I got gas for 99 cents, but it was at Taco Bell". GP> Of course. & then if they do accidentally cure the one thing, they GP> generate another health problem that they're conveniently about to GP> release a new drug for. . . Yep. A cured patient is a lost customer, according to Big Pharma. GP> Pissing you off? Or feeling like you've grabbed holt of a GP> rhymes-with-Venus? I thought I'd lose mine after all that Lasix in water the last time I was in the hospital after bladder stone surgery. Daryl ....
