About 17 years ago, my mom had a hysterectomy and ended up instead with 3 surgeries in four days. After the initial surgery, she had internal bleeding so they went back in. After the 2nd surgery, she got far worse instead of better so they went back in and discovered the doctor had left one of the sponges inside her. She recovered eventually and is just fine, but that doctor mysteriously resigned and stopped practicing not long after!
And probably taste fresher too! My son uses twinkies as a prop in a play. They were down to the last twinkie which was at least 4 years old. I bought them a new box.

March 12, 2010 at 1:19 pmYeah, I was guessing Trader Joe’s marinated mahi mahi steaks. How they grow them square-ish is a mystery.

Mmmm, twinkies. Taste like surgical sponges.

March 12, 2010 at 5:16 pmI love those surgical sponges because the bristles on the other side are soft and don’t strip the flesh off my arm when I’m scrubbing for surgery.

March 12, 2010 at 5:34 pmIt’s twin pack o’ Twinkies. Unfortunately, Twinkies have a sad association here in San Francisco.
