Not me! I can't even stand SEEING it in the grocery!

Ugh -- horrible memories of our once or twice a year liver meal -- so grateful  we can now get our vitamin A in other foods &/or supplements.

I would find a way to thicken ketchup (mix with mashed taties) & stack it an  inch deep on top of a tiny(~2cm^2) cut-off bite of liver & attemnpt to swallow  that ewntire bite whole -- never worked, I had to chew & spread that HORRIBLE  taste throughout my poor young mouth. . .

Now I refuse to eat liver or kidneys -- as I know exactly what they do in the  body of a mammal & if the cow saw fit to get rid of that crap, why would I want to eat it?!

You eat liver? That's OFFAL!!!

Yup, TANSTAFL is one of my faves of his contributions to our language - that &  "grok".. . (to truly understand & internalize knowledge)

I'm in Canada -- where free handouts are the way of life for half the  ppoulation (think California, just colder)

I've had my share over theyears & cuirrently receive a disability cheque  montgly that isn't paid for by any contribution to a pension or insurance plan  I did. . .it's paid for by the hardworking taxpayers of this province  (including me) & I don't accept it as a free ift -- I accept it for what it was intended -- help up for those who need it, & I accept it as a debt upon myself, thus I put in many hours/week of volunteer work for my community & province.

I was raised on TANSTAAFL, but not by that name. . .

I defy you to find a graveyard that doesn't have humungous mausoleums here &  there, some incredibly ornate -- all pointless, of course, as the builder/owner is utterly GONE!

Like the rtich guy talking with St. Peter, who didn't have him on the lisd to  enter Heaven, as his life was filled with greed & glutony & no generrosit or  kindness. . .

"That's not true, " Mr. Moneybags exclaimed, "You can't say never -- why just  lat month, I dropped a quarter into a blind beggar's cup!"

Peter said, "Okay, I'll have to discuss this with the Boss.  Hang on. . ."

Peter heads upstairs into God's chamber & explains what the record says & wha  the guy's protest was.

God pulled up the life reel on the big screen ion the wall oppopsitek to vieew  the incident & sure enoughm, the old Scrooge, dug down past a pocketful of $2-0 nbilld to find a quarter lodged in the corner & grudghingly put it into the  beggar's cup, presumably because he saw the newspaper photographer arcoss the  street.

God dug into His robes & pulled out a coin, flipped it to Peter & said, "Give  him back his two bits & tell him to go to Hell."

You will know them by their fruits. . .

Moneybags' fruit was old, dried & mouldy. . .

I'm not saying God actually acts like this, of course -- it's a JOKE, people -- read the echo name & description before you send your complaints to my recycle  bin!
