deliciousness without salmonella
My boss came around offering peanuts.
We all looked at them warily.
"From Nigeria," he says reassuringly, offering the container.
We all eagerly took some.*
[Me: From a Nigerian scammer who bought them in America?
Him: ....
Me: Never mind. Give me some?]
(* in case you did not know, a major peanut and peanut-paste supplying corporation let loose salmonella in their peanuts/peanut butter. Otherwise, this joke makes very little sense, unless you read it as a play on the Nigerian scammer email thing, and wow, this becomes less funny by the minute. I would say this is a good argument for keeping up on current events so this is funnier. If it ever can be.)

From:We just had a committee go around and hand out candy bars to our department. Too bad most of them contained peanuts. Too bad 3 of us are allergic enough that we are reacting to the dust in the air at this point. Too bad it was explicitly against policy because of this. But hey, we got free pop too! :)

From:I wish it was peanuts here... Where I live, there is currently eggs and pork pulled from sale because of salmonella. Eggs AND pork because the farm feed factory spreading the salmonella manufactured feed to both... :( Guess if the egg producers are shitting a brick in fear that this will kill their easter sales.
