    You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

    And if there's not enough rat hairs and roach eggs, some must be added to meet the specs.

    From NYT;
    Unfiltered Fervor: The Rush to Get Off the Water Grid
    "SAN FRANCISCO — At Rainbow Grocery, a cooperative in this city’s Mission District, one brand of water is so popular that it’s often out of stock. But one recent evening, there was a glittering rack of it: glass orbs containing 2.5 gallons of what is billed as “raw water” — unfiltered, untreated, unsterilized spring water, $36.99 each and $14.99 per refill, bottled and marketed by a small company called Live Water.

    “It has a vaguely mild sweetness, a nice smooth mouth feel, nothing that overwhelms the flavor profile,” said Kevin Freeman, a shift manager at the store. “Bottled water’s controversial. We’ve curtailed our water selection. But this is totally outside that whole realm.”

    Here on the West Coast and in other pockets around the country, many people are looking to get off the water grid.

    Start-ups like Live Water in Oregon and Tourmaline Spring in Maine have emerged in the last few years to deliver untreated water on demand. An Arizona company, Zero Mass Water, which installs systems allowing people to collect water directly from the atmosphere around their homes, began taking orders in November from across the United States. It has raised $24 million in venture capital."

    If that doesn't get you going, there's this.

    From Fox News;
    Japan's new 'Coke Plus' contains a laxative ingredient
    "Those who grab a Coca-Cola Plus in Japan are definitely getting something extra: a laxative and the government's seal of approval.
    The Wall Street Journal reports on the unlikely sounding "health drink," which has qualified as a "Foods for Specified Health Uses" (FOSHU) product, meaning it includes an ingredient that's been determined by the government to bestow a health benefit.
    In this case, that ingredient is indigestible dextrin — 5 grams of it per 16-ounce sugar- and calorie-free bottle. It's a source of dietary fiber, and as the company explained in a February 2017 press release touting the product's impending launch, "Drinking one Coca-Cola Plus per day with food will help suppress fat absorption and help moderate the levels of triglycerides in the blood after eating" — so long as you don't drink too much, which could cause "loose bowels," per a marketing VP for the company."

    Read again, the the possibility impostor mayo is not covered an any way by that exhibit, given its literal meaning. In fact, it makes it even easier to pull off.

    We've all been had.

    I went to the dog groomer today. Confusing though, she seemed like a normal human female to me.
