It was like a delayed detonation fuse. It was two miles to our work
location that has only one toilet and there were 5 of us who got hit by
it at the same time. It was not a comfortable moment.

This was a hole in the wall just down the street from the Chinese
restaurant we usually went to. At the usual place we usually ordered a
single dish each and maybe some soup, and then take home the leftovers.
This place we tried had a combo dinner that was dirt cheap. It was tasty
enough, but the side effects were harsh. We thought it was worth
trying. I don't know why the price mattered. We were on expense accounts
so it wasn't really coming out of our pockets.
