A Dirty (Dishes) Joke

I’m not sure of the original source of this joke, but it was forwarded to me and made me laugh! 🙂

Larry went to visit his 86-year-old grandfather in a very rural area.  After spending a great evening chatting the night away, Larry’s grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon and eggs. Larry noticed a film-like substance on his plate and questioned his grandfather asking, “Are these plates clean?”

His grandfather replied, “They’re as clean as cold water can get ’em. Just you go ahead and finish your meal”.

For lunch the old man made hamburgers.  Again, Larry was concerned about his plate, as it appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg. Again, he asked his grandfather, “Are you sure these plates are clean?”
Without looking up the old man said, “I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get ’em.  Now don’t you worry, I don’t want to hear another word about it”.

Later that afternoon as Larry was trying to leave, his grandfather’s dog started to growl at him and wouldn’t let him pass by. Larry yelled and said, “Grandfather, your dog won’t let me get to my car.”

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted to his dog, “Hey Coldwater, go lay down now, yah hear me!”

So how about YOU? Do you allow your pets to lick your dishes (as long as you wash them afterward)??

Dried Fruit Shouldn’t Glow in the Dark!

(Click picture to enlarge view)

Off hand, I can’t think of anything I eat that glows in the dark, but the bright orange mango slices shown here to the right sure look like they would! Funny how when I slice open a fresh mango…it’s yellow inside! And when I purchase additive-free dried mango slices (as shown below), they are brownish-yellow in color.

But I commonly see bright orange slices sold as “dried mangoes,” too, and they are full of additives, like sulphur dioxide & artificial colorings!

Dried mango slices should look like this! And they should contain “mango” and NO other ingredients! Yum!

Even more ridiculous is that the bins and packages containing these “glow-in-the-dark” varieties often state that they contain “sulphur dioxide for color retention“! Huh? For retention of what color exactly??? The artificial yellow #5 that they’ve added to the slices for some reason??? Or is it the yellow #6 color whose retention is aided by this sulphur dioxide?! I am truly perplexed, and I’m not even sure I want to know! Wow! It really should not be this complicated just to eat real food!

This REAL food can REALLY mess up your taste buds!

About a week ago, I started having a strange bitter and metallic taste in my mouth (especially right after eating anything). Everything I’ve been eating since then, tastes FUNKY!!  I would’ve NEVER suspected this FOOD was the cause!! Here is the link to the FDA’s page regarding this matter. Be sure to contact them if you experience this reaction and find this food to be the culprit – http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm247099.htm
