If you travel as frequently as I do, you learn to be careful about the people you associate with. I pride myself on being highly discriminating, choosing to fraternize only with individuals of the utmost sophistication and grace:
People who, when confronted with a scientifically valuable discovery of a 351cm giant squid arm segment, would behave in a manner befitting the circumstances:
Though I must admit error in judgement from time to time, as during my most recent excursion, when imprudent choice of travel companions precipitated the need for me to undertake an impromptu ablution to expunge the unyielding aroma of decomposing cephalopod:
Quit fooling around and pass the calamari!!
ewww! rotting squid…must have taken quite awhile to get rid of the smell…Do you ever get to see an actual giant squid alive?
Yeah, took a lot of soap and hot water. Much more than usual to make me presentable
No. No one has ever seen one alive. I think it’d be too scary. The one that the arm came from would’ve been at least 8 to 10 metres long, if not longer. They’re supposed to be quite vicious too.
8 to 10 metres? sweet.. just make sure you get Douglas between you and the squid and you should be alright
I knew it! I knew it! You did eat it! Ewwww!
