The best food poisoning story I know, by the way, comes from my very own company.  One of our guys went out for a machine installation in China, came back to the US, and immediately manifested bad food poising that required medication to eradicate.  I asked him what he thought it was from.  It turns out that, shortly before getting on his flight home, he went to a 7-11 in China and ate a dinner of meatballs there. 
There is a lesson here.  It is a lesson like:  "Don't take a running chainsaw and use it to saw through your own guts.  That is a bad thing to do."



That flight home must have been hell!!

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

First world problems.

This particular one is a 0.0001-th world problem.

It's a masterfully written and hilarious story (as long as you aren't the author, of course).  :uhoh
