Who Would Have Thought that Spinach Would Kill?
I just finished a huge plate of spinach salad. I’m listening to an online radio station. The news comes on. The announcer talks about this multi-state E. coli outbreak linked to bagged fresh spinach.
A Kentucky girl is in the hospital, and (I quote) “4 Hoosiers sick from spinach.”
He sternly intoned, “The Feds say if you have any fresh bagged spinach in your refridgerator, throw it out!”
I’m dead.

Thanks for the announcement.
Alas, your obit could have been longer.
Spinach-free and happy to be vindicated,

I would make a snide comment about that being a good reason not to eat spinach, but alas I like spinach in salads….

Hilarious.
My wife and I stupidly ordered a spinach dip appitizer at Olive Garden last night. They were out of course. Probably because it had all been thrown out. So we ordered a bowl of cheese instead. We’re mostly likely going to croak too.
