Jim, >>My quote is Reality is only important when perception is forced to deal with Reality>> Pickles will kill you! Every pickle you eat brings you nearer to death. Amazingly, "the thinking man" has failed to grasp the terrifying significance of the term "in the pickle." Pickles are associated with all the major diseases of the body. Eating them breeds wars and social unrest. They can be related to most airline tragedies. Auto accidents are caused by pickles. There exists a positive relationship between crime waves and consumption of pickles. Witness: 1) Nearly all sick people have eaten pickles. The effects are cumulative. 2) 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have eaten pickles. 3) 100% of all soldiers have eaten pickles. 4) 99.7% of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate pickles within 14 days preceding the accident. 5) 93.1% of juvenile delinquents come from homes where pickles are served frequently. Long term effects of eating pickles: 1) Of all the people born in 1839 who later dined on pickles are now dead. 100% mortality rate. 2)All pickle eaters born between 1900 and 1920 have wrinkled skin, have lost most of their teeth, have brittle bones, and failing eyesight-if the ills of pickle eating has not already caused their death. 3)Rats force fed with 20 pounds of pickles per day for 30 days developed bulging abdomens. 4) No one living today has developed problems from eating orchid petal soup.
