Interesting Grocery Store Finds

I have a hard time finding, to me, basic things like cilantro and jalapenos at my supermarket, yet when it comes to meat my supermarket abounds with interesting finds. Those are honest to goodness frog legs, not a gag gift in a joke shop. They’re in the frozen food section sandwiched between the calamari and the mussels; they were actually on sale last week. I wonder if anyone actually looked at their supermarket flyer that week and said, “Honey, frog legs are on sale. Wouldn’t they be nice with a glass of chardonnay?” because I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen anyone buying them.

Ground horse. I’ve never bought it, but according to my supermarket’s website, it is best served medium rare. Apparently it makes good burgers. Something new to liven up one’s backyard cookouts this summer.
I’m pretty sure that there are at least few people who will see this post and be like  O_o , but what is and is not considered edible is just a product of culture. Although I’ve never tried horse or frog legs, and I don’t have any inclination to do so, I’m not opposed to it being sold in the supermarket. Just had to get that out of the way.

Why I Will Always Remember to Floss from Now On

Does anyone else remember this Simpson’s episode?

 

At the Painless Dentistry (formerly Painful Dentistry), the dentist interrogates Ralph.

DR. WOLFE
How often do you brush, Ralph?

RALPH
Three times a day, sir.

DR. WOLFE
(menacingly) Why must you turn my office into a house of lies?

RALPH
Alright, I don't brush! (crying) I don't brush!

DR. WOLFE
Let's look at a picture book - the Big Book of British Smiles.

He shows him a book of people with crooked and missing teeth.

RALPH
That's enough! (crying) That's enough!

 

Replace brush with floss and “I don’t” with very rarely and that was me in my dentist’s office last week.

 

 

This was me when the dentist told me how many cavities I had. I did however, take it like a champ and got them done in one shot; I was in the dentist’s chair for 2.5 hours. When I went back to work my entire face was frozen and people kept coming up to me with a look of concern asking what had happened to me. I was talking like I just had a stroke and trying to avoid answering the phone all afternoon. Did I mention that it took hours for the drilling sensation to go away? Thank God for dental insurance because it would have cost me a bloody fortune if I didn’t have it. Even with it, it was rather painful.

So take it from me people. Floss every night. Otherwise you will have your dentist and your dental hygienist giving you stern disapproving looks and coming at you with pointy rotating miniature drill bits. I for one have learnt my lesson.
