How to become a vegetarian
A comedy conversation by The Mailman: ringing twice, as always | 02/14/2006 01:59 AM | 232 views
I went grocery shopping on Saturday afternoon. Among other places, I went to the butcher's. I had some friends coming over for dinner later that evening, and I had put beef on the menu.



The butcher was very friendly. He took my order, gave me some advice on which particular piece of meat to choose, and then put the one I had picked on his wooden meat-cutting board. The meat required a bit of preparation, so the butcher got to work with his big knife, while I just stood there waiting.



As soon as he started cutting the meat, a man came by and greeted him.

- "I heard you became a father this week", he said. "Congratulations!"

- "Thanks", answered the butcher.



Both men then engaged in small talk about babies, birth and stuff. I was just standing in front of them, so I figured I'd give the butcher my congratulations as well. He thanked me, and started talking about how happy he was, how his life was changing, etc.



The friend asked him: "So how did it go, at the hospital?"

At this point, I expected the butcher to reply something about the miracle of birth, about how brave his wife was, about how nice the nurses were, etc. But no. As he was cutting and slicing through the big piece of meat that I was going to enjoy later with my friends, this is what he said:



- "Oh man, it was great. I got to cut the umbilical cord."



---



The dinner with my friends was very pleasant. I ate a lot of lettuce.

My most disgusting meat story involves a drunk uncle-in-law; an UGLY divorce; a lot of beer; a chest freezer; half a frozen beef; and a cheap mother ... and goes like this ....



Feel free to sing along.





Uncle Joe got drunk one night

do-dah do-dah



With aunt Violet he picked a fight

oh-da-do-dah-day



Said her cooking was piss-piss poor

do-dah do-dah



Opened the chest frezeer, stood on the edge and pissed on the contents

oh-da-do-dah-day



Auntie Violet gave him the heave ho

do-dah do-dah



Called my mommy to help her pack so she could move in with us

oh-da-do-dah-day



Mommy couldn't see throwing away all that good beef

do-dah do-dah



After all it was 'butcher wrapped' and didn't hardly smell at all

oh-da-do-dah-day



For the next six months we ate pissed flavored beef

do-dah do-dah



To this day I want to puke when I see butcher wrapped bundles

oh-da-do-dah-day









Thank you, thank you very much!

I got to cut the umbilical cord.



Cut into half inch slices.



Soak in water for 1 hour. Discard and replace water twice.



Soak in buttermilk for 30-60 minutes.



Dredge in seasoned flour.



Fry in half inch ghee.



Serve with wasabi mashed russet potatoes and sauteed broccoli rabe with elephant garlic and afterbirth.

He touched you in your no-no place, didn't he?

There is an afterbirth in our freezer. I'm not sure if it is kosher or not.

It doesn't chew the cud, if that makes any difference.
