Why Taco Bell is good for you

[Craig S.]

After a car crash, a man survived for six days on a pretty interesting diet:

Maybe more people should start carrying taco sauce as part of their survival kits.

You could probably use it as a disinfectant/antiseptic as well.

Wasn't there a Sopranos episode that was really similar to that where Chistopher got lost in a NJ woods?

Yes, Chris and Paulie spent the night in an old van eating condiments. That could be where this guy got the idea of how to save his life, just like those people who learned CPR by watching Baywatch.

True story.

On 11/22/02, I was "trapped" in my car for 6 hours. I left work at 4:30 PM (to get a head start!) and did not walk in the door until 10:30 PM. Usually, this trip runs about 90 minutes.

I travel about 50 miles on the Garden State Parkway. So, when I get on, I get into the far left lane and try to run that down the route. On 11/22, it worked against me.

About three miles into the GSP, it stopped dead. There was a flood about 20 miles away from me that closed the road. (It had rained about a half hour ago, hard.) The cops were escorting cars one by one over the grass in the middle of the GSP to get around the flood. For that entire 20 mile part, I rode the brake the whole way - - never touched the gas pedal. It was wall-to-wall cars, and since I was all the way over on the left, I couldn't get over the three lanes I would have needed to get off - - so, I had to stay in my lane - - - it took about 5 hours to drive 20 miles. No kidding.

A lot of stuff went through my head when I was stuck there. Six hours in a car, averaging about 8 MPH, alone, will do that to you. It was mental torture.

Know what, if I had some taco sauce, I would have ate it.

First thing I did when I got off the GSP was hit Mickey Dees - - never tasted better.

Steve I feel your pain.

That happen to me too. This summer my patient died the same time D Kyle died. She would have been 33. She was orignally from the Boston area and her services were in that vacinity. I left work early, got out of my scrubs and put on hose and pumps and appropriate clothing. Drove all the way to HELL. I swear those people are nuts. You sit on the highway and everyone beeps at each other and flips everyone off.

I cleaned my car and threw things out the window, smoked waaaaaay too many cigaretts, drank waaaaay too many cafinated bevarges, applied more makeup, rechecked my dirrections, flipped people off, washed my back window, talked to people in the car next to me, swore at the people on the other side........to hell with them......I was in mourning!


Here is the kicker, took 20 minutes to go through the wake line find my car, cry, compose myself another 4 hours to drive BACK in a traffic jam in the other dirrection.

We were still better off than the taco sauce guy.

I understand that the Taco Bell's taco sauce will camoflage the taste of anything. Keep that in mind next time some arch criminal locks you in a basement and all you will have to eat is the rats lurking there - be sure to keep a few packets in your pocket

So, Taco sauce is like Andruw Jones? :stinker: Sorry PW, I just thought this was funny - - the last 2 BTB posts I read were yours and they both used the word camoflage. ;)
