3. Was that Dan Quayle's problem?

Quayle seems brilliant in comparison to *!

8. No, Dan was from northern Indiana

You can only get fried cow brain sandwiches in the southern part. I remember eating one or two with my grandmother when I was a kid. She loved them...I never saw what the big deal was.

Squirrel brains carry disease

Researchers at the University of Kentucky have issued a tentative warning that people should not eat squirrel brains because the rodents may carry a variant of the fatal mad cow disease.

2. That's definitely a wise, well thought out solution

I went to McD's for the first time in I don't know how long, and am suffering. I had a couple of the cheap, little double cheeseburgers. I couldn't even eat most of the second one.

Did I mention I am suffering? I swear, something in that chemical concoction has caused my stomach to swell. I will not eat there again!

Good luck with the down-home eatin'!

I had a friend give me some elk meat, and it's still sitting in my freezer, because I'm afraid it may have the chronic wasting disease prions or whatever. Yet, I will eat chem/bio weapon burgers from McD's.

I'm ashamed. And suffering.

4. Yeah, you gotta watch those burgers of mass destruction...

It's definitely venison for me.

5. Perfect story for "60-Minutes." What a bizarre gov. Bu$h runs.

I try to buy organic, grass-fed beef. But how do I know what I think I am buying is what I am really getting? The FDA and Dept. of Agriculture only muddy the water.

7. There was a story years ago in Florida

A restaurant served beef that they raised on their own ranch. The Health Dept made them post a sign to that effect and that their beef was not inspected. Their business improved substantially.
