Day Thirty-nine: A Sickening Tale of Woe

In North America we sit in our comfy chairs, for the most part well fed. Even the homeless eat better than this guy. We rarely even think about things like this and do nothing about it. Nobody is around to help him get nourishment. It really turns my stomach. If he could only make it a few more feet.

Day Thirty-eight: Nature's Cruelest Mistake

It's been a long time since I made a post here. Far too long even. I've been busy, which is really no excuse, but I've also run out of crazy ideas. Every once in a while life throws you a bone though and it is just too tasty to pass up.
There is an episode on The Simpsons called "The New Kid on the Block". In this episode Homer goes to an all-you-can-eat fish restaurant and he eats until they kick him out. Homer then tries to sue the restaurant because he did not get all he could eat. If you need more information about the episode, the hyperlink above will take you to the transcript. This is just ridiculous hilarity right? Made up to cause laughter among the many, many Simpsons fans. There is no basis on reality here...WRONG! Dead wrong.
Someone that I have been working with has gone to an all-you-can-eat ribs restaurant and been kicked out for eating too much. I'll give you one guess as to what he did after that. Oh yes, he tried to sue the restaurant because he did not get all he could eat. The reason that they gave was that they thought he would have a heart attack. From the condition he is in, I'm surprised he hasn't already.
It seems that The Simpsons is a lot closer to reality than some people think and "within reason" should be attached to every all-you-can-eat sign.
