An Acquired Taste

You are what you eat; it is true,
                    So cannibals are people too!

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 6/11/2022 3:24:00 AM Great fun and clever write, though I can't help thinking that cannibalism could solve our problem of global over population ha, ha, ha. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer Login to Reply

John Watt Date: 5/14/2022 10:58:00 PM This was laugh out loud funny, Michelle. I love your macabre wit. Did you hear about the cannibal who had a wife and ate children? He was late to dinner once... he got cold feet. Great write, great title too, best wishes in the contest. Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 5/16/2022 2:36:00 PM I had several ideas for titles for this, such as 'Tastes like Chicken' and 'To Serve Man' (from the classic Twilight Zone episode) but thought An Acquired Taste was the best fit - glad you appreciated the humor, not sure how many would~

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/7/2022 8:30:00 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha! Wish I could laugh more. It hurts too much with every bite that cannibal takes.
