sick as a dog (and he was too!)

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown:

• chicken tenders
• french fries (probably the best in town)
  
• large ear corn on the cob
• roll with butter and
• iced water

This was the good chicken, the good corn, the good meal; what followed was not..

Dinner: I went to the Rat KFC...

• two piece breast and wing, extra crispy
• mashed potatoes and brown gravy
• small piece of corn on the cob and
• biscuit

The wing was mostly breading and the breast was greasy; still, I was hungry and ate it...

My dog isn't so picky; he ate as much of the chicken as I gave him. I did notice it didn't taste quite up to par but I was hungry and had paid for the food.

The mashed potatoes must have been instant. They were the kind for which the phrase "hunger is the best appetizer" was invented; sadly, I wasn't hungry enough for this "Delicacy" (sarcasm!) ;-)

The small piece of corn on the cob was soggy and clearly had been stewing in the cooking water for waaaay too long!

The biscuit was crumbly and they didn't put any honey or "butter" in the bag (it tasted fine). However, I have grape jelly at home...

I drank a glass of cold water from  my refer; this was clearly the best part of the meal!

About an hour after going to bed, I was rolling around on the bed, barfing in my mouth and swallowing. I finally got up and stood over the toilet till all the dinner came back up. To paraphrase Vir Coto "It tasted so good going down, not so good  coming back up." It didn't taste so bad...

About 2 am, I woke up with my wife fussing with the dog (who had been sleeping between us). She got him to the end of the bed and I was wondering what was going on (sometimes being very hard of hearing can be a blessing!) Well, the poor dog barfed on the outer blanket. My wife stripped the blanket off the bed, walked the dog and came back to bed. Now, it could be argued that I should have been the one to take the dog outside. However, it was about 2 am and I had to un-rack (get out of bed) about 3:14 am. Had I walked the dog, I would have been so awake that I'd have lost my last hour of sleep...

So, what did dog and man have in common?

We both ate from the same piece of KFC extra crispy chicken breast!

This may be spurious reasoning but...
