I CANT IMAGINE THE STUPIDITY OF THOSE INVOLVED IN SHIPPING A DEAD WOMANS TORSO INSTEAD OF STEAKS TO A WHOLESALE CLUB THIS STORY MAKES ME WANT TO EAT MY FINGERS OFF AND SPIT THEM INTO A BLENDER AND THEN MIXING SOME BEEFEATERS AND SOME CELERY SEED IN WITH CLUB SODA AND CREATING

That's made me hungry again.
