No Common Sense Today

Dear Common Sense readers—

I got hold of some bad food yesterday. I can hardly bear to look at this photo. Warning to the wise—if something doesn't taste as good as you recall, throw it in the trash.

Running late on time, I went to the grocery store and bought some sausage, egg and cheese biscuits and ate one before heading off to my dentist appoint at 1:30.

By 1:45, I was feeling quite sick as I drove to my appointment. I called and cancelled it and barely made it home before the food poisoning overtook me.

I spent the next twelve hours throwing up (sorry for the details), about 42 times in all.

I don't remember ever feeling so poorly in my life.

My stomach has finally calmed down but I feel it more important to sleep it off rather than publish this paper today.

I hope you'll understand and I'll be back at it tomorrow.
