I've been putting off cleaning abagail's litterbox for too long (now that I've graduated, I have household responsibilities) and finally got to it.
What I discovered was very disturbing, as the cat's feces smelled not of excreta but of cheese. Have you ever smelled the rank, gourmet cheese that only comes from germany? Abagail's feces smelled like that. Let me show you:
It's made me come up with this interesting theory on the origins of the term "government cheese". Since government cheese is reputed to be so horrible, it must be referring to the cheese like odor from rancid feces. Therefore those on government welfare programs are eating feces and are living the government cheese lifestyle. I think it's an apt metaphor for our times.
Has anyone else picked up on this?
