Revenge Is Sweet
There once was an old couple who had been married for thirty years.

Every morning the old boy would wake up and give off an enormous fart, much to his long suffering wife's annoyance.

"You'll fart your guts out one of these days," she always complained.

After a particularly bad week the wife decided to have her revenge and got up early, placing some turkey giblets in the bed next to the old boy's arse.

While making breakfast downstairs she heard his usual morning fart reverberate through the floorboards followed by a scream.

Twenty minutes later a rather shaken man came downstairs.

"You was right all along Missus," the old man says, "I finally did fart my guts out, but by the grace of God, and these two fingers, I managed to push 'em back in!"

Pines are mostly monoecious, having the male and female cones on the same tree, though a few species are sub-dioecious with individuals predominantly, but not wholly, single-sex. The male cones are small, typically 1-5 cm long, and only present for a short period (usually in spring, though autumn in a few pines), falling as soon as they have shed their pollen. The female cones take 1.5-3 years (depending on species) to mature after pollination, with actual fertilization delayed one year. At maturity the cones are 3-60 cm long. Each cone has numerous spirally arranged scales, with two seeds on each fertile scale; the scales at the base and tip of the cone are small and sterile, without seeds. The seeds are mostly small and winged, and are anemophilous (wind-dispersed), but some are larger and have only a vestigial wing, and are bird-dispersed (see below). At maturity, the cones usually open to release the seeds, but in some of the bird-dispersed species (e.g. Whitebark Pine), the seeds are only released by the bird breaking the cones open. In others, the fire climax pines (e.g. Monterey Pine, Pond Pine), the seeds are stored in closed ("serotinous") cones for many years until a forest fire kills the parent tree; the cones are also opened by the heat and the stored seeds are then released in huge numbers to re-populate the burnt ground.

To the anon on Nov 14, at 10:00:

I, too, have heard that Taco Mel's is full of nothing but crank hos and drunks (for about the 500th time in two weeks, as a matter of fact). I've also heard that the restaurant is nothing but a cover for a drug operation, as well as many other off-the-wall rumors. People will believe what they want to believe.

However, I would like to invite you to stop there and form your own opinion. (Please...stop when I'm there...I'm off today...Wednesday...but will be there through this coming Sunday, from 8-4, each and every day.)

I am one of the managers, and although I admit that we DO have some work to do in order to get the place better organized, I am there nearly every day and spend enough time there to know what goes on with the employees and the business. None of us are perfect, but that has NOTHING to do with how Taco Mel's is managed or how our customers are treated....or the quality of our food (which I think is quite good, even though I don't care for Mexican food). We are trying our best to serve the public in the most tasty, sanitary, quick and friendly ways.

Our little taco stand got a bad name before it even got started, but to be completely honest, it's a great place if people would just give it the chance. Please drop by and see for yourself. The food doesn't cost much at all. We have food items ranging from 99 cents to $2.50 (except for one item which is $3.75). Ya' know? You won't have to spend a huge amount of money in order to dropy by and check the place out for yourselves.

Don't listen to the "rumors" that you've heard...form your own opinion. If you still don't care for our little business, that's ok. Just make your own decisions instead of letting someone else do it for you. Do you understand what I'm saying? Give us a chance. We're really not all that bad. I promise. (If it was so horrible, I couldn't work there. I assure you.)

ROSE said...

Crank ho's & perverts? LOL Is that how the positions were advertised? "Only crank ho's & perverts need apply" ? The meth heads, drunks & weirdos should all sue for discrimination!

As long as you don't catch them scratching their butts with their tortilla folding hands or sneezing into the beans, at least be brave enough to offer you own opinion instead of just spreading around somebody else's.

At least in the center of town people will at least be able to see those names and maybe learn to give a little respect to the ones that have served this country. Yep shove them aside and bury them over at the biggest joke in Clayberry.
And also someone who wants to do something for this county volunteer to help Jerry Stover remove them trashy trees and for you tree huggers go over and dig them up if you want them and take them over to your house and trash up the place. I have yet to see a pine tree that has a root system that goes down otherwise (tap root) as roots of a pine and a maple tree run along the top of the ground and spread as the trees grow to the outer ends of the limbs. I uproot them both all the time and unlike a gum or hickory which their roots go downward to the water source and are miserable to remove the pines just topple over. David Pierson get that escavator fired up and shove them out. I like crank hos myself their roots run deep. Red Corvettes are miserable excuses for an automobile also, bout as near to junk as you can get. Kevin Duffy is just getting ready for the new illeagals that are getting ready to take over Clayberry with his Mex restaurant. The Mexicans are COMING sound the alarm.

"As long as you don't catch them scratching their butts with their tortilla folding hands or sneezing into the beans, at least be brave enough to offer you own opinion instead of just spreading around somebody else's."

I have an opinion Rose. You dont know your arse from a hole in the ground. If you did you would know that food handlers who are strung out on drugs and having sex with anything that will lay still long enough pose a serious health risk. They do scratch there buts and wipe there nose and then touch your food. Ever hear of Hepatitus?

Jun 19, 2003 (CIDRAP News) – Thousands of food handlers each year have hepatitis A and can potentially pass the disease to diners, a fact that poses tough problems for public health agencies, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

About 230,000 cases of hepatitis A were reported in the United States from 1992 through 2001, the CDC says in the Jun 20 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Each year about 8% of adults who have hepatitis are identified as food handlers, indicating that thousands of food workers have the disease, the report says.

A food handler infected with hepatitis A virus (HAV) "potentially can transmit HAV to many others and cause a substantial economic burden to public health," the article says. The article describes a 2001 outbreak, linked with a Massachusetts restaurant, that involved at least 32 patients and caused estimated "societal costs" of about $800,000, more than 90% of which were paid by public health agencies.

A food handler carrying HAV was determined to be the probable cause of the outbreak, the report says. The worker's hepatitis case was reported to the state health department Oct 26, 2001, and he was believed to have been potentially infectious from Oct 3 to 24. He reported diligent handwashing and glove use while working, and supervisors corroborated this. He reported no gastrointestinal symptoms, and his duties were mainly managerial, though he did prepare some food, including sandwiches that were not cooked after preparation. Health officials judged that food contamination by the worker was unlikely and did not notify the public or recommend postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) for restaurant customers.

None of the other food handlers had hepatitis A symptoms, though they were not tested. The restaurant resumed business after a cleaning and inspection and after 19 food handlers received PEP and one was excluded from work, the report says.

A hepatitis A outbreak in the county where the restaurant is located surfaced in November, and by Dec 3 there were 46 cases, compared with none in the same period a year earlier. Of patients who could recall where they had eaten during their incubation period, 35 of 46 (76%) had eaten at the restaurant in question ("restaurant A"), versus much lower percentages for other local restaurants.

Investigators recruited local age-matched controls for each of 43 case-patients in an effort to determine whether patients were more likely to have eaten at restaurant A. Thirty-two of the 43 case-patients and 7 of 16 controls reported having eaten at restaurant A. A regression model linked illness with eating food from restaurant A (odds ratio, 29.4; 95% confidence interval, 5.1 to infinity) but not with eating food from any of three other restaurants. In addition, molecular studies on viral isolates from a subset of 28 case-patients showed identical RNA among all the patients who had eaten at restaurant A.

"This outbreak investigation highlights the difficulties faced by public health officials when making hepatitis A PEP decisions," the report states. How food was contaminated despite the ill worker's reportedly good hygiene is unknown, and transmission from another food handler with unidentified or unreported HAV infection "cannot be excluded." However, the report says the ill worker had a colostomy, which "might have compromised hygiene." HAV transmission from a food handler with a colostomy was previously reported to the CDC by a health official in Texas.

How hygiene, symptoms, and viral characteristics contribute to foodborne transmission of HAV remains imperfectly understood, the article says. But the risk can be reduced by thorough handwashing, wearing gloves when handling food that is not subsequently cooked, keeping ill people from directly handling food or food equipment, and providing adequate sick leave. In addition, hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for both food handlers and other groups routinely advised to get the shot (sexually active gay men, illicit-drug users, people traveling to countries with endemic disease), the report states.

Until the dynamics of foodborne transmission of HAV are better understood, decisions about offering PEP to restaurant customers will have to be based on case-patient interviews and the judgment and experience of public health officials, the report concludes.

ROSE said...

That's far too much opinion.

Google FDA food standards (please don't post them in their entirety here) & waller around in what the government considers to be acceptable in our food supply.

Hey! There's a great diet plan! Go read up on how much poop & bug carcass & other various icky stuff is actually in our food supply & you'll be dropping pounds in no time! If that doesn't do it, read up on all shows Dateline has done on various restaurant standards. You may never eat again!

Actually, I DO know my arse from a hole in the ground! There are actually several very easy ways for anyone to tell the difference between their arse & a hole in the ground. But you'll have to Google that yourself to find out the way that's best for you.

Hepatitis A is in no way limited to people who are strung out or have loose morals. Nor does being a dope head or a 'ho dog mean you're going around spreading Hep A.

Here's a newsflash, though. Once you've had Hep A, you can never get it again! No, don't bother to dispute it! I can Google, too & it's right there on the CDC website! Plain as day! It says,(I'm quoting here, straight from the CDC website) "Once you have had hepatitis A you cannot get it again."

There's even a map link you can click. In WV, the average reported cases of hepatitis A
per 100,000 population*, 1987-1997 was less than 5!

So if you're going to worry about catching something from a dope head or a 'ho dog, I don't think Hep A should be your #1 fear.

We have a few things to say about the taco shop! First of all you all need to get your story striaght if you want to repeat stories then get your facts right, its not Hep A its AIDS. The only drug dealer at Taco Mel's is Tammy Hubbard, she lives in Ivydale if you want some hydros... Just give her a call i am sure that she can either peddle her vaginia or drugs for the right price. The girl that you all think has Hep A does not have anything, her AIDS test results are posted at Taco Mels on the front and back windows you are more than welcome to just stop by and take a look for yourselves to see proof.

Anonymous said...

The reason people think that Taco Mels employees drink all the time is because Mr. Duffy has spoiled them with drinking on the job almost everyday, and then wants to tell them to behave like proper ladies, and when they do people run their mouths about stuff that never happened while at work, some people are just jealous about the two past managers that Mr. Duffy had and wanted their jobs, well guess what you can have the managers position and all the stress and headaches that comes along with it, Mr. Duffy has a problem with changing the rules daily, and making spur of the moment decisions....

We have both worked at Taco Mels and would not recommend eating or working there for even our worst enemies... But for us being crank hos and dope heads its not even close to being true. I hate to talk about people or things but i feel that i have to now to defend myself and the dope head that i worked with, we are both very hard working, dedicated people who worked our A$$es off for our past employer, I wish things would have been alot different than they are now but once you start talking $hit about things that are not true i have to start stating facts, and i frankly dont give a damn about who gets mad or whos feelings i hurt now. But to fire one person over something so simple and to rehire a another person who sells drugs out of the shop and uses the company phone to do so is simply stupid on Mr. Duffys part. He thought the cops would be there when myself the Crank ho and Dope head was there just think about how bad they are going to come down on him now!! Especially with one of Mr. Duffys employees telling everyone who will listen that Jack off Johnnie Morris is selling her and others POT!!!!

For the sake of clarification, I'd like to say that I just work there...go in, do my job and leave when my shift's over. I need the money, the job's close to home and I have hours that allow me to spend time with my kids.

And...in order to ensure that I continue having a job there, I am going to stay out of any discussion about Taco Mel's from here on out...even though I have several things that I feel should be said.

All I can say is that my head hurts and my tongue's got a permanent bite mark on it. :|

ROSE said...

I would hope Mr. Duffy knows the law far better than I ever hope to (& abides by it far more than I ever care to), but the "Anti-Proliferation Act" states that anyone who knowingly opens, leases, rents, or maintains, whether permanently or temporarily, any place for the purpose of using, distributing or manufacturing any controlled substance, can be held accountable. It also makes it unlawful for a manager, employee or owner, to profit from, or make available for use, any place for the purpose of storing, distributing, manufacturing, or using a controlled substance.

There's a lot of room for translation there.

At the same time, the Drug Dealers Liability Act would allow Mr. Duffy (or any employer) to offer his drug-abusing employees a treatment plan, then sue them in civil court for any damages their drug use causes his business and/or patrons.

Go figger.

One thing for sure, if you plan on tying into one of them 1/2 pounders, forget about supper.

Hey, Lil' Unknown Afro Chimney Dweller!

Here's another Life Philosophy From Rose: ALWAYS eat dessert first, just in case you don't have any room left after dinner!

Do we have a secret,huh, tell me please,tell me.

ROSE said...

Secrets? Good lord, are there MORE??

Personally, I'm too full to talk much. Both the middle school and the elementary in Clay had their Thanksgiving dinners today. Well, of course I ate twice! I've got 2 kids, ya know!

Seemed like a good idea at the time ...

Hey Rose: Just be glad you arent like my sister! She has 9 kids, age 10 mo to 17 yrs. Wonder how many Thanksgiving dinners she'll be attending?!

Hey Queen; how many times did your sister have time to take time for a sit down meal? Sounds more like she had breakfast in bed most of the time.

ROSE said...

LOL Nine kids?? YIKES! Was that intentional? That's a household noise level I don't even want to imagine!

Psssst, Caymomma? Don't even bother with that "National Homeland Security" link underneath the flag. It applies to the Homeland - y'all are SOL.

LOL

And speakin of breakfast in bed, well like Rose ,go for the desert first. Looks like the Queen did that for a decade.

Sorry about that, it was the Queens sister that craved so much desert!

I never heard it called desert before but seems like she enjoys the bed part anyway.

I was never allowed to eat in bed when I was a kid.

Now that I'm a big boy, I do it all the time.
