TOKYO — Blowfish testicles prepared by an unauthorized chef sickened seven diners in northern Japan and three remained hospitalized Tuesday after eating the poisonous delicacy.

The owner of the restaurant in Tsuruoka city, who is also the chef, had no license to serve blowfish and was being questioned on suspicion of professional negligence, police official Yoshihito Iwase said.

Blowfish testicles. I’m not touching that one.

QQQQ, too, buddy...

Like Daddy always said, if your going to be dumb (and eat sushi) you better be tough (lest it kills you).

Raw fish and warm rice wine, the Japanese laugh themselves silly over our stupidty for paying for it.

Mattsu. I ain’t eating that.

Ever eat a beating heart? It’s really neat for a few minutes. I’ve done it with some large fish. I’ll do it again. Got one of my daughters to do it, freaked her out, but she wants to do it again.

Indeed! "But I didn't know!" just doesn't cut it in this world. Failure to engage brain is at work here.

Mart’s got the Mangled Genitals ping list, so I’d be lookin’ in his direction.

That sounds real naughty

Aw nuts! That blows! Totally fugud up!

[stuartcr]

Don’t forget slug eating.

[Slings and Arrows]

Who knew Darwin spoke Japanese?

[RichInOC]

Blowfish balls? What’s that like?

They couldn’t be that big for the most part, could they? How do you eat them, like caviar?

[Safetgiver]

I’ve been checking my goldfish, Cleo, for testicles. She don’t have none. Why?

[Sax]

men ordered sashimi and grilled blowfish testicles

Them's got to be tiny little things to grill, like the size of half a pine nut, I'd guess. Reminds me of the old joke:

Q: Have you ever smelled mothballs?

A: Sure, yeah.

Q: How do you get their little legs apart?
