Well, if THIS doesn't make you hurl, nothing will!

LONDON (AP) - A slaughterer who may have Britain’s first human case of foot-and-mouth disease in decades accidentally swallowed fluid from a decomposing carcass, the government said Tuesday.

The man, whose name has not been released, was working on the slaughter of diseased animals in Cumbria, a county in northwest England that has been hit hard in Britain’s two-month-old epidemic of the livestock disease. A spokesman for Prime Minister Tony Blair said he understood that the man was moving a rotting cattle carcass when it burst, sending fluid into his mouth.

We had a good old team vomit over this in the office this morning.

Verdict: “It’s the grimmest thing ever”

Ye gads. I’d be on my hands and knees gargling with keronsene if that happened to me.

I can guarantee that the fluid wouldn’t have stayed in my mouth long enough to infect me…and I would probably never have beef again in my lifetime either.

Yuck! Why didn’t he wear protective equipment, ie: something to cover his mouth and nose - at least the stench would have been a bit easier to handle.

That is just disgusting! You would think he would have been wearing some type of mask while working. ewwwwww!!!

Where’s the puking smiley when you need one? That is just … Ewwwwww. :eek:

Well, at least he can’t complain about his wife’s cooking anymore.

Rosie: “Spotted Dick and bangers’n’mash again, tonight, dearie—sorry it’s leftovers!”

'erbert: “Well, at least it’s better than a mouthful of rotted carcass fluid!”

. . . 'scuse me. I gotta go lie down for a minute . . .

Ew.

Eewwwwww!!!

Mega-gross! I’m glad I skipped breakfast now!

But I feel all icky just thinking about it.

Once more, with feeling before I go take a really hot shower.

EEEWWWWWWWW!!!1

Gee thanks Eve.

I open this up expecting some pithy remark about…oh, I don’t know…say Hollywood remaking Gentlemen Prefer Blondes starring Drew Barrymore and Courtney Cox and I get this shit!

Feh.

Mmmmmm, there ain’t nothin’ like a good old fashioned Root Beer and Rotting Cattle Carcass Float, I always say.

You say this happened in England? How could he tell he wasn’t just eating the regular bilge that passes for “food” over there?

Hmmmmm…I think I’ll eschew that roast beef sandwich I was going to make for lunch.:eek:

…in an related note, however, he set the new world’s record for projectile vomiting, beating the old record held by the late John Blutarsky of Faber College.

“You say this happened in England? How could he tell he wasn’t just eating the regular bilge that passes for “food” over there?”

—Well, that’s probably why he swallowed. “Carn’t be any worse than boiled blood puddin’!”

I dlipped through a few old cookbooks I have laying around for just such an occassion and found the following:

Ye Oldde Resipea fore Burstinng Cowwe
ore Bossey withe the Maggots Onn
1513

Firstly, inn the sommer of the yeare tacke yea a sickley Guernsey cowwe
If noe sickley Guernsey cowwe be avail, kille ye onne with a blowwe betwixt the eyes
Tacke your leave of the cowwe fore att leest a fortnite
Leaving yea cowwe inn the fullest sunne

The humorrs of the cowwe will beginne to expand and, if ye be luckie, she shall double, nay tripple, in sizze
Onct the bott flyes and the maggotts have commenced their worke, and youre cowwe be nigh on to putredness, she be readdy to eatte

Approache ye the carcasse fromm upwindage and, grabbing ye the taile of the beaste, proceed to give a goode, hard, tugg
If you’ve prepared her in the proper mannere, she’ll splitte upp the belley withe a sounde most pleasing to your earr

Serve withe potatoes, parsnips, and a harty browne ale

Wille feede 5 too 10, depending upon their hungere

If I’m not mistaken, this is the national dish of Wales.

Well, I am certainly going to run for the hills next time I’m offered “Bubble and Squeak,” THAT’S fer damn sure.

Touché!

I have to admit that I’ve seen all of these words before, but NEVER in quite that order…
