There is apparently an outbreak of listeriosis in Canada that originated at a deli meat factory, and sadly 16 people have died. Some touchy types are upset because a politician made some jokes about the outbreak and of course he had to apologize. I say don't apologize! Lighten up you dirty Canadians! Why so serious? Agricultural Minister Gerry Ritz did not make jokes about the people who actually died or anything! He said -and I can hardly type this because I am just so amused by it that I'm sort of shaking- "This is like a death by a thousand cuts. Or should I say cold cuts." I'm sorry but that is hysterical. That is classic. It reminds me of something that the Marx Brothers would say. Listeriosis is a serious infection, and it can end very tragically, but I do not understand why that should get in the way of the inspired comedy genius of Gerry Ritz.

Claire - what the fuck are you doing in law? You should have gone into medicine. Clearly, your personality lends itself to the kind of nervous with death, but comfortable with death type of humor I have only witnessed among doctor types... like my bff Molly, who sometimes saws into skulls in order to slurp out the brains as part of her 9-5 job.
seriously. you should be a doctor.
That sounds more like something Mike Schrader would say.
