Golf is the only sport where you shout "Fore!", shoot six and write down five.

Nothing unusual here.  I used to work summers in a cannery (peas, corn mostly).  At least once every summer we would have to shut down and start opening cans looking for some lady's finger.  Usually during corn season - the device that cut the corn off the cob looked like a giant pencil sharpener and could take off fingers very easily.  Only rarely did we find what we were looking for.

Did you know that, by law, canneries are allowed a certain number of rats per thousand cans?  That sort of thing?

Just go read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.  Some very interesting depictions of the meat packing industry in the early 1900's

Question:  Is the guy who opens a can of corn only to find a finger entitled to compensation if there is a wedding ring on the finger?

I think of "Soylent Green" every time I hear Beethoven's "Pastorale..."

Remember, Tuesday is Soylent Green day.
