Oh, Ferret Folks! Horror of horrors! I learned from Mary's post yesterday that I am FULL TO BURSTING with evil free radicals, angry little atoms with issues like the super oxides, hydroxyls, and peroxides. I just know I'm a human powder keg, because these hateful things are found in STORED FAT MOLECULES, which I have in great, sleek abundance. Mary notes that burning stored fat molecules for energy liberates these little monsters, so that they can do their damage. I am an educated consumer now, and I have a clear choice. I can either subsist on fish liver oil, rose hips, and leafy green sheep food OR I can preserve my stored fat molecules. Hmm, what to do, what to do...agony-agony-agony, gotta make a choice... I know, I resolve to eat half a bag of Hershey's chocolate kisses every morning when I sit in this soft chair and read my FML! Not only are they tasty and attractively packaged, but they preserve my God-given stored fat so that I am not overwhelmed by free radicals and go up in a burst of flame! (One can also roll the little silver foil wrappers up into shiny pellets and build tiny pyramids out of them if you have a steady hand, always a plus!) Thanks, Mary! The great Cod of the icy Massachusetts Bay waters can sleep safely now, knowing that I don't seek his plump, oily liver for myself. Alexandra in Massachusetts [Posted in FML issue 3891]
