[Histonet] slim jims and more

[Diane Gerjets]

Hi Steve,
One year for April Fool's Day, we put a piece of hot dog through the 
grossing area as a joke for the pathologists. We were somewhat surprised to 
find what they were made of. Mainly of fat, muscle and some sort of 
vegetation. We also had a pathologist  who read the results of a research 
project done with spam. It looked like they wasted no body parts. It was 
disgusting. However, I was brought up eating hot dogs and spam, so I will 
continue to eat them. It hasn't hurt me yet.
