re: #337 Killgore Trout

I don’t think it’s that outrageous. You wouldn’t open your fridge and sprinkle paint chips or pressure treated wood dust on your food. I’m far from a health nut but there are some things humans aren’t supposed to eat.

Yanking your chain. There was an expression from my childhood I’ve never quite understood: “You have to eat a bushel of dirt before you die.” That can either mean “A bushel of dirt will kill you”, or “You’re alright if you don’t consume a whole bushel”, or “It’s inevitable that you will eat a bushel in your lifetime.”

(This was said by an adult to reassure me after I ate a tablespoon of Pittsburgh backyard on a dare.)
