Just had a talk with the gouty one here. Although I was attempting to watch
what I fed him here... I did remember that he talked of the chef at work
who cooked lots of wonderful stuff including salmon and lots of seafood.
Then I said, "You aren't eating seafood at work are you?" To which he
replied, "Why?" And after my answer, he went silent. So... We'll see...
