This is from an old Peanuts cartoon. I couldn't find the actual strip
online.

Linus: You gonna make some toast? How about putting in a slice for
me?

Lucy: Here you are.

Linus: Thank you very much. Hey! This is too light! It's hardly
singed! Surely you don't expect me to eat raw toast!

They sell some pretty raw sugar cookies at the supermarket.

I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

Most supermarket cookies totally suck. You'd think they'd have a decent way of making a cookie. Not yet.

I think I can honestly say that I've never touched anything with a ten foot
pole.

Of course you haven't. That's why your crew sends American jobs
overseas.

I've found a 9 footer works just fine.

I guess you've never had to wrangle an alligator. Neither have I
When I had one in my back yard, security sent a young woman down with a
10 foot pole with a wire loop on the end. She's in that rare group of
people who *can* say she's touched something with a ten foot pole!

No tree pruning over the years? Okay.

I made alligator stew once. Nasty. I figure alligator meat needs to be
fried to make it edible. I suspect alligator chilli would be nearly as
nasty as the alligator stew I made that one time.

Nope. I've never pruned a tree. I've used hedge clippers to trim some
shrubs. Nothing that required a 10 foot pole

Have you ever tried alligator meat? Not me but I'm always open to try
something new once at least. I saw on a survival show once where they killed
one and described the meat as tasting a bit "swampy." hmmmmm That doesn't
sound so appealing.

Gary

Actually now that I think about it, I'll probably never try (and support)
alligator meat after seeing those shows on the History Channel. I tried
hunting when i was a kid and it was fun until I actually killed some animal.
I have no problem with hunters now but I just don't want to do it myself.
Normal hunters are OK in my book.....you stalk an animal, shoot it, and it's
dead.

I've always had a problem with trapping though. That's the cruelest thing I
can imagine. Take the gator hunting for example.... You bate this giant
hook with chicken or whatever. The next day you check your traps hoping to
find one. Meanwhile that animal thinks he's getting a great meal only to
bite down on a hook that stuck in his mouth or throat. He trapped there,
and in pain, and panicking in terror for up to 24 hours until the trappers
come back the next day.

Once they get there, they shoot them in the head. If I was that gator, I
think I'd welcome a bullet in the head. Not just gators, but trapping of any
animal....it's so evil. I could never do that, thinking of all the horrors
that animal went through for up to 24 hours until someone finally came back
and killed it.

I've only had alligator in gumbo, and fried, like chicken.

We had an alligator in the lake behind the house, and they refused to
move it, because they did not consider it a threat. Some of the
neighbors were upset, they were afraid it would eat their dog, but that
never happened.

There are signs posted all over where I live: Do Not Feed the
Alligators. Because yes, people's dogs started going missing.
Alligators aren't cute and they aren't friendly.

I like them like that!

Well, you can use your heat vision to finish baking them. The rest of
us have to use an oven.

I think sugar cookies taste 100% better when their toasty. But maybe when
they're not toasty they're like wedding cookies?

Sometimes I cook puff pastry. I put some jelly and whipped frosting inside.
But I'm very careful to avoid browning them too much.

I hate overly-brown puff pastry desserts. I also hate butter cookies.
