Oh, hey, now I'm with you . . . my neighbor, she's a little boney, but
stewed (as I'd like to see her) I think she'd be fine. On the other hand,
it could be dangerous to eat her. I know she's off her meds right now
because she's calling the cops all the time about peeping Toms and missing
plants but those meds build up in the meat and could cause the eater harm.
Good idea though.
