C is for Cannibalism

Have you ever noticed that when people say they want a certain kind of food, they often omit the word "food" altogether?  Instead they say "Let's eat some Italian,"  or "I could go for some Indian."

It sounds like they plan to go out and cannibalize someone of that particular nationality.

For instance, when someone says


I picture this:


What you mean is Mexican food.  You want to eat some Mexican food.  Not tear your teeth into the flesh of some unfortunate man who happens to be from Mexico.

So next time someone asks, "Do you want some Chinese?" your response should be, "Absolutely not!  That is disgusting and wrong!" and you should probably run away before you, too, are eaten.

    1. You might want to contact everyone you've ever met and assure them that you are not a cannibal.

  2. What if you're feeling peckish? Is it still wrong to be a cannibal if you're feeling peckish?

    (For the purposes of this comment, imagine that "peckish" is a delightful expression that means uncontrollably hungry, but still sounds socially acceptable.)

    1. Haha! That makes me picture someone pecking at someone else's face ineffectively, or maybe smashing their nose into a plate of food over and over.

  4. We're either going to have Mexican for lunch or go to the deli. Does anyone ever say they want to eat a Jew? If so, I'd better be careful!!

    1. Nope, I've never heard "Let's eat some Jewish!" So if you're Jewish I think you're safe. In that case I guess no one will be cannibalizing Hubs either.

    1. Yes, some are definitely targeted more than others. Maybe it's just in the US, but I never hear anyone say they want some Canadian or some British. Those people must taste really bad.

    2. Being Canadian, I take some offense at the fact that you assume we are not delicious!

      Very funny again, and I wait patiently for the next letter!
