In related news, James Carville canceled his appearance on CNN’s “Situation Room” until further notice.

“He explained in five years he’d never run into anything like this.”

“... he went on to state that, in most cases, snake heads are served with the bits of spine removed.”

Fried Rattle Snake, yummm!

The only good snake is a dead one.

Things like these keep me away from salads- especially ones that look like leaves and plant shreds were thrown into a bowl along with some cream and oil.

...If he had bit into the head my guess is there would have been some projectile vomit spewing across his table. I know my cookies would of hit the floor.

About 15 years ago three of us office girls went to the new Italian restaurant in the Whitehaven area of Memphis. The only girl to order Blue Cheese on her salad found a wadded up Kleenex in the midst of the dressing.
The only one who could finish eating was the girl that found the Kleenex. Me and the other girl did good not to toss what little we had eaten. To this day I still order dressing that I can see through.

A few years ago I was getting lunch at a hospital cafeteria whwn I noticed one of the cafeteria workers say into her walkie-talkie: “Bring out the turtle heads!”. I asked her what she meant and she said, “You weren’t supposed to hear that. That’s what we call the Brussels sprouts.”

"I see this gray-green patch..."

I think the color he's trying to describe is more accurately referred to as "serpentine."

>> “He explained in five years he’d never run into anything like this.”

Horse heads, platypus heads, the occasional puppy’s head, sure... but NEVER a snake!

"I stopped eating. I told my girlfriend, 'I think this is a head,'" he said.

Best to quit while you're a head.

Pendleton said he has no plans to sue.

Common sense does still exist. Amazing.

I found pineapple on a pizza once.

Now, that was just wrong.

I was visiting at a hospital when I heard the call go out for “Doctor Pyro”. Turns out that’s what they do for their fire drills.
