Grilled Pork Chops
A Silly Grilled Pork Chop Story
One hot summer day, a man named Bob decided to grill some pork chops for dinner. He had marinated them overnight and was excited to taste the deliciousness that awaited him.
As he was grilling the pork chops, his neighbor's cat wandered into his backyard. Bob shooed the cat away, but not before it had taken a quick swipe at one of the pork chops.
Bob thought to himself, "Well, it's just a small scratch, it'll be fine." He continued to grill the pork chops, not realizing that the cat had left some fur behind on the meat.
When Bob finally took the pork chops off the grill and sat down to eat, he noticed that they tasted a little off. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something was definitely wrong.
As he was cleaning up the dishes, he found a piece of cat fur on one of the pork chops. Suddenly, it all made sense. He had accidentally grilled a pork chop with cat fur on it!
Bob couldn't believe his luck. He had marinated the pork chops for hours, only to have them ruined by a mischievous cat. From that day forward, he made sure to keep a closer eye on his backyard grill.
The lesson? Always be on the lookout for curious animals when grilling, or you might end up with some unexpected (and unappetizing) flavors in your meal.
