Ten people in Alaska were recently infected with what is now a relatively rare parasitic worm that they got from eating walrus meat, according to a new report.

Knock, knock

“Hello.”

“Hi. I’m selling magazine subscriptions to pay my way through college.”

“What do you have?”

“I’m selling subscriptions to MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY REVIEW WEEKLY.”

“You know, son, plumbers can make good money without college.”

Why would someone eat walrus?

Same reason they eat whale. To stay alive.

[moehoward]

Lennon’s or Martin’s ?

[NorthMountain]

Walrus is good eatin’ up there.

[lee martell]

The Cello was probably John’s wish and George Martin’s doing or arrangement.

Lennon’s or Martin’s ?

Neither

Walrus tastes an awful lot like chicken.

As a matter of fact, Colonel Sanders started out trying to franchise Alaska Fried Walrus restaurants.

He was only a Major back then.

Never caught on because nobody could lift a Walrus drumstick.

Frank Zappa's band covered I am the Walrus during Frank's final, 1988 Tour. I got to see it live at The Tower in Upper Darby, PA. Good times.

I could believe that walrus tastes like a lot of awful chicken.

But the parasite commented;

"Will you still feed me, when I'm 64?"

[Phil DiBasquette]

He bag production, he got walrus gumboot...

[a fool in paradise]

64 pounds?

No!

[enduserindy]

I wonder if they will be the cast of the next Alaska reality show.

“Cooking meat usually kills any parasites who live in the meat - don’t these people cook their walrus meat??”

Look up how they prepare it, you’ll barf your cookies. They let it rot.

[Daffynition]

Plastic worms. Hmmmmmm.

[trebb]

Maybe walrus meat is to them like a good steak is to me - gotta be rare...

[elcid1970]

What about “Magical Misery Tour” where Lennon asserts that he not Paul was really the walrus?

[NativeSon]

The traditional way is the best - I’m having some right now.

“I was the Walrus! PAUL wasn’t the Walrus! I was just saying that to be nice, but I was actually the Walrus!”
