Ah yes! the movie *Dumb and Dumber* immediately comes to mind.
Since I live in the afore mentioned state...I have had my fill of this epic story.
Rex Leo was homeless at the time this occured.Homeless - according to his and his own family admission - even though he had a place to stay,anytime, with said family and said family was more than willing to help him in any way he needed.
Rex,who frequented the Waffle House begging free food and cigarettes stops by one morning....
The cook, dumb - dumb that he is....decides, *gee - the guy wants money, let me see if he wants to make 5 bucks ...hmmm...will he drink this tonic of dishwashing liquid for it??...Will you Rex, huh? huh?* * I dare you!! * * I triple dog dare you!! *
The dumb - dumb cook even tells dumber Rex....* gee buddy, there is some industrial strength dishwashing liquid in there!*
See Rex take the triple dog dare ! See Rex drink the drink....see Rex get sick....see Rex foam at the mouth
DUH
Now, the Rex....out of the hospital, and living with his FAMILY, sits for interviews.
By all appearances, by his own admission, by his family members and aqaintance admissions....he is really not uneducated, in fact, he is pretty well spoken.
See Rex sit there and tell how altered his life is now due to being **poisoned**.
See Rex take absolutely NO responsibility for drinking that drink - knowing FULL well what was contained in it.
See Rex’s family cry and wring their hands over the injustice done to poor Rex.
See the dumb - dumb cook suffer the consequence of his own stupidity.
See the taxpayer pay Rex’s medical bills- afterall he WAS homeless , and being indigent, had no healthcare.
See Waffle House get sued.
See Rex get money.
See Rex make absolutely no effort to repay his medical bills.
yes....
Dumb and Dumber.
There is a Happy Ending to the story. (see above, ‘Black Sheep’)
Rex has been accepted for Advanced Placement at the University of Washington’s School of Kool-Aid Tasting.
Fernet Branca is a bitter, aromatic spirit made from of over 40 herbs and spices, including myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, cardamom and saffron, with a base of grape alcohol. The recipe is a secret, and was created by the young Maria Scala in 1845 in Milan.Fernet Branca is usually served as a digestif after a meal, but may also be enjoyed with coffee and espresso, or mixed into coffee and espresso drinks. It may be enjoyed neat at room temperature or with ice.
OCM: Be sure to add Chartreuse, reminiscent of men’s hair tonic used in the 50’s.
( scratches his head, looking for a ruse way to relate this to The Topic).
I hear that Awffle House plans to introduce a new syrup combining both!
Umm how do you know what the stuff that settles in the plumbing elbow of the kitchen sink tastes like? LOL
I’m wondering also, OCM. I mean, we’d understand if you said, “It’s the same as eating ” .
Hell, I went and looked up FERNET too. I suppose I could have saved myself the trouble by scrolling down the page. Shudda known that would be on the ball.
I’ll leave OCM alone on this one, everyone else having already jumped him.
[you merciless ]
OINK The Merciless dispatches OCM, as all watch in horror and fascination.
(cook and) EAT MORE CAT!
PIGS? Filthy! A billion+++ Moslems can’t be wrong!
SKIPPER—The Topic includes: “BEWARE OF THE DUMB ASS”
I feel confident that, as long as OLDCATASS is along, we cannot stray too far from that.
