Message-ID: <877@vax2.fluke.UUCP> Date: Mon, 5-Aug-85 13:41:51 EDT Article-I.D.: vax2.877 Posted: Mon Aug 5 13:41:51 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 11-Aug-85 06:48:59 EDT Distribution: net Organization: John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 12 Besides liking beer, slugs also are extremely fond of margueritas. The reason they don't flock to them like they do to beer, is that the salt on the glass kills them. Marguerita aversion must reinforced in their slimey little genes by now. Of course, every once in a while a really stupid slug will try to sneek a sip. It's really awful what happens. They curl up, turn green, and die. They sort of resemble lime wedges. Dave (the god honest truth) Van Ess John Fluke Mfg Co Everett WA
