Bad ham

[Norelco]

Ugh, so Sunday I went to the store to buy some groceries. I bought a bunch of lunch meat...ham...turkey, to make sandwiches. On Sunday after I put the groceries away, I went to make a ham sandwich. Sure enough, can't find the ham. So I make a turkey sandwich instead.

Fast forward to this morning, I make another turkey sandwich to take to work. Lo' and behold, I open the fridge, and the ham is there. I'm like "wtf." So I make it a ham and turkey sandwich.

So I get to work, and I'm like damn, how did the ham just reappear? So I email my roommate at work to ask if he found the ham somewhere. The kid is very unreliable when it comes to emailing me back in a timely fashion, but I wanted to hear from him before I ate any of this ham.

Then I got super hungry and devoured the sandwich. I should have probably pulled the ham off if I was so suspicious about it. But when I saw the bag of ham in the fridge this morning it didn't look bloated at all.

About an hour after eating the sandwich I get this reply: "Yeah on the floor by the beer cans. I threw it back in yesterday when I came home."

I was feeling fine until I read this email. I'm not sure if I feel this way because I ate ham that was unrefridgerated for 30 hours, or if this is a mental reaction. I'm hoping because the ham was salty that this acted as a preservative, but I have a pretty bad headache now and my left hand is aching.

I'm sorry, but when I read this: "Yeah on the floor by the beer cans. I threw it back in yesterday when I came home." I started laughing so hard I think I pissed my pants.

Hope you don't get food poisoning lol

[Norelco]

Yeah, it is kind of funny. I hope I don't get sick.

I sent this email to my roommate: "Not to pry, but don't think maybe if you found ham on the floor, just sitting there...that it warrants you telling me you found the ham on the floor and that maybe I don't want to eat it? Or just tossing it out?"

Let's see what kind of reply I get.

Still think you're a cunt, so I hope you're very, very ill. Nothing terminal, just a few days of extreme discomfort.

Go choke on some haggis. I'm so glad you're offended still by my comments about Taylah.

I think it is a mental reaction personally. Were it physical, you would know.

Get some Pepto-Bismol to make sure your situation stays under control and smack your roommate with the package of ham when you get back home from work.

Heh, I actually thought about taking the ham and wall papering his room with it or hiding it in his bed.

You're probably right, and luckily it was only like 2oz I had. I figure that ham is cured and salted so it couldn't be so bad.

[Killgannon]

most likely mental reaction, if it were physical you'd definetly know, and not in your head and left hand.... food stuff usually doesnt hit there first... it hits more in your stomach and digestive tract... now if you start projectile vomiting or explosive diahreha then seek out help>.>;

The worst bad meat would do to you is terrible stomach pains, nothing to do with a headache or your hands. Especially if it was sealed, for 30 hours warm the worst that could happen is it would taste a little funny.

[Cylo]

You'll be alright dude. Don't get too mad at him, at least he put it in the fridge instead of just leaving it there. For all he knows it could have just been put down there right before he found it.

Hope you don't get tooo sick.

I couldn't say for sure, but I know firsthand just how bad you can be mentally affected by that kind of thing.

I ate some cheap corn dogs and almost threw up, thinking they must have been spoiled. Went out, bought a new box, then realized that was how they were supposed to taste and I thought, "Eh, not bad."

Just the thought that it was bad had me gagging.

[Norelco]

Yeah, I appear to be fine. Had a headache for awhile but I guess that was a mental thing. I guess that's the power of the mind for you. Reminds me of an episode of House when he was on a plane and some guy was sick so everyone on the plane thought they were sick, and the symptoms were caused by people's minds thinking that they were infected. Especially after someone overheard what the symptoms could be, when they previously thought it was a contagious illness.

The ham actually didn't taste funny...it was just a little harder.

That episode was quite awesome.
