I spent a good half hour making myself a fruit salad, earlier this evening. Contents: peaches, apples, and grapes. I don’t usually burp. Peaches make me burp. It’s a nice, soft burp, too. Always. And usually only when I eat peaches with chopsticks. Just thought I’d share my oddity… does anyone else encounter the same sort of thing? ---

I will usually hiccup within seconds of taking the first sip of a soda. Not always, but at least 75% of the time. I have never figured that one out. ---

About 8 -12 hours after I eat something…, I crap. Go figure. And, habenero peppers make me sneeze. ---

I sneeze in the shower… I mean like 6-8 times too. I wonder if I am allergic to water. I keep wondering about it, esp since I take at least one shower a day. oh well… “grace” ---

Eating soft pretzels ALWAYS gives me the hiccoughs. Just thinking about them now, I’ve started hiccoughing-may as well go get one. ---

After every single meal for at least the past 30 years, I’ve gotten what I call my post-prandial hiccups – anywhere from one to four strong hiccups. That’s all, never more than four. Is it my diaphragm readjusting itself to the heavier weight of my stomach? I don’t know, it’s just weird, but I’ve long since accepted it. There are worse after-dinner habits… ---

I made a peach pie once. It was okay, but I decided not to do it again. Peaches are the perfect fruit; they don’t need to be glammed up. Take a freestone peach, slice it and eat it with a fork. Food of the gods. ---

> [@](#): > > Take a freestone peach, slice it and eat it with a fork. Food of the gods. Cling peaches, on the other hand, are the work of Satan himself - you bite into the fruit, expecting nothing more than a mouthfull of juicy, aromatic fruitiness, but what do you get? Abraded gums, messy hands and fibres jammed between your teeth. ---
