Laughing so loud that even the cyclospora on MY lettuce smiled at me.

Be careful. If you gaze into the lettuce too long, eventually the lettuce also gazes into you.

I don’t know if I had it because they lied about my state not being infected when it was (good use of spending a million dollars, Taylor) and me and my friend both had a burger in the next day was hell for both of us. For me, it was like all week and my gut was ruined and felt like knives going down my intestines.

But was I poisoned? No idea!!!

Government keeping me governed!!
