"Little In The Middle, But It's Got Much 'Back'"...

So, I've written before about how someone I work with refuses to eat "ass."

Now, I'm not being porno-graphic... What I mean is, "this person refuses to eat the ass of any animals." (So there are no prison references, though I do like to throw them in to conversation when I can.) They won't eat ham (swine ass) or roast (cow ass). And, quite frankly, those are the most tasty bits of their specific animals.

I'll try pretty much any animal ass. (Except "human ass." I don't do cannibalism.) But one particular "ass" I can't do is "fruit ass."

Okay... Wait a second... I'm not being perverse... Please let me explain...

I got my Boston Organics fruit delivery yesterday. In my box were a bunch of apples and pears. I unloaded some of the pears and apples onto my desk at work... So I could have something to snack on during the day...

Well, I went to go snack on one of my pears today, and I just couldn't do it...



"This pear looks like it has an ass," I said. "I can't eat it now."

My co-worker took a look at it and agreed.

"I definitely couldn't eat it," they said.

"Oh yeah, that's right," I agreed. "You don't eat ass. Not even in prison."

As a side note... My work review is coming up soon. Hopefully all this "ass talk" won't count against me.

But seriously, could you eat a pear that had an "ass"?
