Know Your Shopping

Walking up the front of the restaurant, I was happy to see that it was open even thought it was so late at night. The smell of fish permeated through the air, and I was anxious to have some. It had been some time since I had had fresh fish for dinner, and was happy to see what waited for me on the menu.The front doors looked like they were made out of wood about a hundred years ago, with portholes for windows, and those metal things that you tie boats up to, for door handles. As soon as I walked in, the music stopped, and heads of old men turned and stared me down. There was about six or seven people in the whole place, all of them on the bar stools. I sat down at the end of the bar, next to a shady looking character, that looked like had been sleeping on the street for the last month or so. He smelt like it too. I asked the barkeep for a shot of Jack Daniels and a menu. He pored a quick shot, slid it to me from across the bar and then walked over to get a menu. Before, he even got to the stack of paper menus, I asked if I could have some of that fish that I smelt from outside. He laughed and yelled out “He wants the fish he says!” The guy next to me got up and laughed. The barkeep then informed me that they don’t serve fish in that restaurant. The smell that I smelled was that shady guy that was now standing directly behind me. I was now getting a little worried. What was this guy doing behind me… and why did he smell like fish. I decided that it was time to go, so I tossed down a five spot and hit the road. I said that I wanted to have some fish. Guess I need to look for some place else to eat dinner.

Greetings fellow Chocolate lover, I am here to tell you I have good news! No, I did not save a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to Gieko, as I already had Gieko in the first place. No, I am here to tell you that Chocolate is really good for you. That’s right, the dark chocolate type has some great new research showing that in fact it can help against diarrhea symptoms. This is because cocoa beans have flavonoids, a chemical in them that binds with a protein in the intestines that secretes fluid.

Of course this wonderful finding was already known by Europeans in the sixteenth century, but since now scientists have proven this, it means we need to have plenty of dark chocolate around the house just in case, the really tasty expensive type. YES.

Oh but it gets even better you see dark chocolate as better anti-oxidants in it, meaning it can help the heart and arteries too. Milk chocolate does too, but the milk is not always so good. There is more! Indeed, it was discovered that dark chocolate might even help against cancer on top of protecting the heart from heart disease and preventing diarrhea. If dark chocolate can boost the blood anti-oxidant levels by 20% and we all love dark chocolate and it does all these wonderful other things then how come it tastes so good? While, I’ll bet that God created Chocolate on the seventh day, but forgot to tell anybody, because he was busy enjoying himself. Think on this.
