modern sanitation practice in the US, especially by the obama reelection committee, would seem to make it impossible.

According to some here “Veganism is vanity and conceit.”

Is that true? I doubt it, but some were very adamant about it.

I was just thinking of that very same joke; I think I first heard it in the late 1960s. About when did you first hear it from your Dad?

I remember it like it was just last week, it was the summer of 1968, and Dad and I were just hanging around in his wood working area of the basement, and for extra effect, he actually had a great big claw hammer in his hand when he got to the punchline and slammed it on the bench, I almost crapped myself, LOL (*thanks* Dad, that was one hilarious story! :)

[mkjessup]

Lol, nicely captures the parasite’s mind.

One could easily imagine using the same technique to rid our political system of leftists and liberals, LOL

[mkjessup]

Only 3 letters truly apply to that story, and they are OMG...!!!

[mkjessup]

Heard it over 30 years ago from my uncle. His version ended ‘”What? No bread?” Wham!’

Amazing how stories like this take on a life of their own (kinda like a tapeworm lol) with different twists and turns and punchlines ... thanks for sharing that!

Free brain check for OWS participants...?

[SunkenCiv]

I’m sure the diagnosis has some *wiggle room*.

[pterional]

When you eat the poorly cooked meat you eat the cyst with the larva and it developes into the adult worm. When you eat the egg it hatches out, migrates through the body to form the cyst. It is the migration to the brain that is the most damaging. Once you get the adult tapeworm in your GI tract and you don't wash you hands you eat more eggs thus more migrating larva that form the cysts.

"I don't want to eat pig meat people; I'm not a cannibal."

heh heh heh ...nice one!

“Dont eat pig meat people...”

What do pig meat people look like?

[blasater1960]

..."the principle way, one becomes infected"

Yes, but also food preparation is becoming an issue. Pig eaters should make sure that when they handle the raw meat that they wash up very good. You can easily transmit MRSA to the nose where it typically thrives and waits for an opportunity..

“...Jagerschitzel.”

Um, I think you might want to re check the spelling. LOL
