On the other hand, the chicken has now been out, unthawed in my fridge, for something like two days. Do I eat the chicken? Stomach: "I think you should eat the chicken." Brain: "I'm not so sure about this. I thought it was really bad to eat chicken after it's been out for a day." Stomach: "No, you're thinking of eating raw chicken. That's salmonella poisoning. Don't do that. But just cook the chicken. We'll be fine." Brain: "Thanks, I was planning on eating raw." Stomach: "Look, just cook the chicken really well. That should make it safe." Brain: "Is that how that works?" Stomach: "Oh sure. Burn out the germs and such." Eyes: "It looks alright." Stomach: "See? Eat the chicken." Brain: "I don't think you can actually see germs. It might be rancid. I don't know." Nose: "Smells fine." Brain: "Really?" Nose: "Well, what's raw chicken supposed to smell like? I guess it smells okay. Sure." Stomach: "You see? The chicken's fine. Come on, eat it already. You haven't fed me since this morning, I'm starving." Brain: "This just doesn't sound right. Wish I could think better. So hungover." Stomach: "Trust me. I accept full responsibility." Brain: "Well... alright." Stomach: "BOOYA!" [LATER] Brain: [reading] Stomach: "Um, hey. Knock knock." Brain: "Oh, hi. What's up?" Stomach: "Uh... well... remember that chicken?" Brain: "Oh. Yeah. How was it?" Stomach: "It tasted great. Listen, I think we might have a little problem." Brain: "Really? What's wrong?" [pause] "Stomach?" Rancid Chicken: "The stomach is ours! Viva la revolution! Organic pigdog, you will pay for your crimes against chicken! We claim the stomach for the National Vomit Armada!" Brain: "What? Who is this? Put Stomach back on!" Stomach: "I think we'd better do what they say, Brain. They look serious." Brain: "What are their demands?" Rancid Chicken: "We want you to vomit!" Brain: "Okay." Rancid Chicken: "Constantly for the next eight hours!" Stomach: "Do it, Brain! Oh, lord, you should see what they're DOING down here!"
