[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 573085, member: 1365"] Ha! Regardless of source…it’s the processing and storing and cooking that produces such festive reactions. I was a Clinical Specialist on the Can Tho Army Airfield and one of our jobs was doing cultures on downtown bar glasses, ice, food, etc. but it did not include street vendors. I’ll bet we would have discovered some pretty exotic cultures if it did. BTW: one of our other major responsibilities was managing health records and giving shots to the bar girls. See! It’s not ALL boring work. 54 bars! 10 - 20 girls working in each one. It’s what the term “bevy” is used to describe. Quite the experience. Managing a heroin withdrawal ward during the day…giving shots to hookers at night. Every two weeks we’d do a MEDCAP mission off base. Out in the jungle at ARVN training camps treating dependents of the soldiers (access via dugout canoe by river)…or to a Budist or Catholic Orphanage to work with the kids. And of course there was the ER and ambulance duty…weaving in and out of a sea of motor bikes, .45 strapped to your hip. After that year I was never quite the same. [/QUOTE]
