Tarnished reputation (or spoon, anyhow)
Having finished the hot peppers, I put 6 hard-boiled eggs in the remaining
brine. I left a silver spoon in it overnight, and it turned pretty much black. Am I gonna poison myself now or something? Ken |

Am I gonna poison myself now or something? Yes. And you're gonna die soon. But remember that thing about always wearing clean underwear in case of accident. Hurry to clean that silverware. You'll, of course, still die even if you use salt and vinegar to get that deadly, lethal, murderous, killing, terminal, um, tarnish off. But, like your underwear (you *ARE* wearing clean underwear!), it's pristine and reflects well on you and the face of the coroner. Or you could use Dip-it. Or silver polish (I don't know what Poland has to do with it.). No, seriously... Pastorio |
