>>>>>>>>There once was a highly developed Buddhist guru who had the ability to transport himself to any place in the universe. He decided to investigate Hell. Upon arrival he found a lush green valley with perfect moderate temperatures, beautiful flowers, clear sparkling water, and snow-covered mountains. In the middle of the valley there was a large table with every known delicious food available. But the people at the table were moaning and screaming in agony. All they had to eat with were six-foot chopsticks, and no matter how hard they tried, no matter what technique they used, they couldn't get the food into their mouths and it was driving them insane.

>>>>>>>>The guru decided to visit Heaven. When he arrived he found a scene much like the first. A beautiful valley, green and lush, with flowers, trees, and plants of all varieties. In addition, there was a similar table piled high with fantastic food from all over the world. The people gathered at the table were happy and joyful, laughing and talking. They had the same six-foot chopsticks to eat with, but instead of trying to feed themselves, they used the chopsticks to feed each other.

>>>>>>>Why didn't the gobsh!tes just eat with their hands - heaven AND hell?

>>>>>>If God had meant us to eat with our hands he would have ensured our arms where too short to reach our posteriors. :-)

>>>I haven't even tried the stuff since the 80s (my first time) when a mouthful of it made me retch.
>>>I did find that the organic crunchy stuff was less disgusting though.

>>>(Now if I'm not mistaken the Yanks will all start a confab on how they like it, with "jelly" (Barf just to think of it) and all that, and how mom used to serve it up. If the don't then it'll only be to spite my having said this)

>>A spoonful when you need some quick energy :o)

>>My mom never 'served it up.' :o) Peanut butter was something the kids served themselves for breakfast on toast. Cereal or toast was the self-serve breakfast when I was growing up.

>So my assertion was wrong just cos your mom neglected you? :-)

No, when my mother cooked breakfast, it was the full deal: eggs, pancakes, toast, sausage, etc. If she wasn't fixing breakfast, then the kids helped themselves to cereal or toast.
