Experience #67: Pork & Heartache
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
Miele, lei ha mentito quando ha detto hai amato me - come la fica siete
And I had no cause to doubt you.
E non avevo motivo di dubitare di lei.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Ma io preferirei andare in udienza vostre menzogne
Than go on living without you.
Di continuare a vivere senza di voi.

Experience #66: He brings us so many things we need....
Many a woman takes pride in her selection of Rawleigh's Good Health Products and tells her friends, "We're always glad when the Rawleigh Retailer comes. He brings us so many things we need and can hardly do without." They use these necessities almost every day and prefer them for every need because of their quality and practical usefulness and the service, savings and satisfaction they give.

Experience #32: Not a basic dietary item, such as flour, rice, or corn.
All of the Swingline series staples are twin-packed and contain 5,000 staples per pack; that's 10,000 staples. I began to calculate: there are 52 weeks in a year and if I used 10 staples per week (2 per work day) that would amount to 520 staples annually. One carton of 5,000 would cover me for the next ten years. I concluded this Swingline twin-pack of 10,000 total staples would last two decades, maybe longer than I'll live and I would have to consider how to fairly distribute them among my heirs or I could be generous with their distribution right now. Designate the staple the coin of my realm and give a staple to any one in need or begin to leave them as tips to waiters, waitresses, doormen, taxi drivers, bell hops, barbers and Korean massage parlor employees.

Experience #28: The Festicle Testival
California Festival Sells Deep-Fried Testicles
Little Rock, California - Around here, it may be tough to pass up anything deep-fried.
Californians in this high desert community have deep-fried cheese curds, candy bars and Twinkies. They now have deep-fried livestock testicles, too. More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the 4th annual Testicle Festival at Mother's Own Bar and Grill in the center of the main highway that runs through town.
"Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you're eating, it's just like eating any other food, and it tastes good," Buster Choups said.
Festival founder Nancy Ballzer said the festival grew out of her late husband Dick's birthday party 6 years ago. They decided to have "a nut fry" at Mother's Own after bringing back lamb fries from a trip to New Mexico. The event has grown each year and now they fry up to 100 pounds of testicles, she said.
"What else can you do in a small town?" Ballzer stated.
Dutch Goubam, 78, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs also served at the festival, he said. "After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Goubam said, "but that's also the frame of mind I used when I'd have sex with my late wife, Vera once she turned seventy-two."
