Skip the Skippy

SamIam · 03-08-2011, 01:29 AM

Low-fat Skippy peanut butter has been recalled due to contamination from salmonella: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_831896.html

I looked it up, and salmonella is mostly transfered by the "fecal/oral route." How disgusting is that? Someone has been shitting on the peanuts which end up in your pb and j sandwich. Really. Skippy says the contamination was due to the fertilizer used on its peanut crops. What the hell kind of fertilizer are they using? The Skippy people aren't saying. Too much information I guess.

But not to worry. Salmonella mostly only kills small children and the elderly. So go ahead, give the neighbor's bratty 2 year old a nice piece of bread slathered with Skippy. Grandpa showing signs of Alzheimer's? Pile on the PB and save thousands in nursing home bills.

I bet on top of everything else, those peanuts are genetically engineered mutant clones. Where's Jimmy Carter when we need him?

Good thing the repubicans want to cut funding for FDA inspectors.

Do not eat the Blue Legumes!

Speaking of legumes, my mom likes to say: Eat every bean and pea on your plate. (Come on, say it out loud.)

Probably not people poop, but rat or mouse.

Surely the idea of fecal matter in fertilizer isn't surprising to you? Salmonella isn't restricted to human feces. I'd say it's more of a washing problem than a fertilizer problem.

BTW, I've had salmonella. It wasn't fun.

Way back in the 70s there was a Blondie strip on Sunday with Dagwood and Herb waiting out front of an Italian restaurant for their wives. The strip itself wasn't very funny, but I did laugh when I noticed that the name of the restaurant was Sal Monella's.

I always read it as Sam and Ella after an Only Fools and Horses episode. In a broad Saaarf London accent it is pretty much interchangeable.

In the same episode Del tells Uncle Arthur that he has to go into hospital.
"I know you don't want to have an operation, nobody wants to have an operation, but everyone at some time in their lives has to have one. And today it's your turn" which made perfect sense to me as a child.

If I haven't worked out how to only show a certain part I'm sorry.
Feel free to forward to 8.30 for the clip I intended you to see.
ETA - nope, whole (part) of the episode.
Can anyone help me with this?

(Don't worry, he doesn't have to have one. He doesn't even have Sam and Ella.)

Sam and Janet Evening used to go there a lot when they were in the South Pacific.

Yeah but the place was crowded and they didn't know anyone there

Shawnee123 · 03-08-2011, 01:33 PM

So, they ordered a Bloody Mary.
