Reminds me of that scene in "Blazing Saddles" when Slim Pickens comes out and asks if anyone wants more beans!

Pretty good information there Glenn. Gotta appreciate the efficiency of the chicken farm. A little of that on a widespread basis would go a long way. Don't listen to those nay-sayers. Just keep on doing what you are doing.

My wife is in a bit of a cloud but she usually follows closely behind.

This is along the same lines.

You've heard of Spontaneous human combustion (SHC)

After exhaustive research, the Guild has discovered the cause.

High risk groups include people:

Who smoke after Dinner

Who eat large amounts of Country Ham

Who grill outside often

The Guild researchers have dubbed this phenomenon, the picnic pig plague. Here's what happens.

A person grills food outside and it develops a charred outside.

At lunch, he eats large amounts of the grilled food and country ham.

Small amounts of methane develop naturally.

The person smokes a cigarette after the meal. 

The ham contains high amounts of salt peter (Potassium nitrate) This is a key ingredient in black powder and releases oxygen as it burns. The charcoal, another BP ingredient, provides the fuel for the combustion. The methane is the kindling, when ignited by the cigarette.

When ignited, the person burns slowely, from the inside out. Tragic!
