To Stobel


This is a picture of a tapeworm. Normally, these are found in dogs or swine, but occasionally they may be found in humans, especially in third world countries. The amazing thing about them is that they grow in your intestine to become up to 12 meters long. The reason that I tell you this is that our friend Kim has a parasite (probably not this one because this one's not transmitted through bad drinking water) and I want to be the first to name him. I hereby dub Kim's parasite, Walter...Walter the Worm. Kim, I hope that you and Walter can have many years of happiness together and that you can have a truly symbiotic relationship with him and all of his children and grandchildren.

That´s more than disgusting Ronnie. Thank you. I am happy to report though that I feel a thousand percent better today and that I kind of have my appetite back. I think thats a good thing.

Ronnie said...

Wait, do you have your appetite back or does Walter have HIS appetite back.

Maybe Walter's always been with you. Would that explain the irregularity?

Ronnie said...

I came really close to talking about that in my post.

You guys have problems. You will never let it die, will you?
