Hash browns for one. I recently picked up some food from a place that
shall go unnamed. The guy at the drive-through window recognized me
cause he knows one of my kids. He slipped me an extra order of hash
browns. I took it to the office and after almost finishing the first bag
of hash browns, noticed a big fried rat turd on said HB. I'm pretty sure
the turd was probably safe to eat having been submerged in hot oil but I
threw the rest of the food away. Seeing as how I was probably not the
true owner of the rat turd hash brown I suppose this was justice of sorts.
