To All:
I just tried out food poisoning. One of those experiences that I didn't know was coming but once it arrived, has tended to dominate all other aspects of my life. The offending food seems to have been some smoked salmon. My darling mother gave it to me. Since she is a good enough shot to nail me that way and never tried to kill me before I am assuming she didn't about the Hell born bacteria residing in it.
I have to confess I was seeing the whole thing in a negative light. Then I talked with a woman I know named Leslie. Leslie told me how great it must be to eat a rich food like salmon and then not only not gain weight but end up losing weight. Since I had spent four hours in a porcelain embrace in the wee hours of the morning this was a perspective I had not considered. I would have to say talking to Leslie was good for me. I needed someone to hate.
All in all I have to say my viewpoint is still negative. With the sole exception of Leslie, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But I have to take responsibility. If I had downed my usual eight ounce tumbler of 200 proof moonshine before and after I ate this likely wouldn't have happened. I guess it just goes to show what taking chances with your health will do to you.

To All: As the result of some diligent research I have generated a great way to make money. Unfortunately it is a one shot deal but I thought I would offer it to the Flame thread first as a token of my esteem.
During the civil war in Nigeria an account was set up to purchase arms for the insurgents. The money for the account was from oil revenues that were diverted from the government. The account was set up by Georges Savambi. However before the insurgents could make their arms purchases Savambi was killed by government forces and the insurgents could not locate the account information.
While I was in Nigeria (studying the transport of diamonds across international borders--some research I was doing) I met Savambi's ex 'girl friend'. While she was in my room discussing various aspects of Nigerian/US international relations, she mentioned Savambi had given her some papers. She did not know what to make of them. She was highly skilled in her chosen profession but was not particularly literate. In the papers was the account number of the insurgents arms purchasing fund. So for an extra $20 (the rest of the payment was for information she provided me for my research), I now have the account number. The funds amount to $32,156,270.15. I need to move this money from the account it is in to the US.
So I need you to send me your bank account numbers so I can transfer the money to your accounts. You will get to keep 20% for your trouble. The more accounts I have the easier it will be to move this money over.
Let me know as soon as possible.
