Salt

I have not used salt for some 30 years, maybe longer?

I was attending an IBM event in New York City.
Lunch had forgotten to be catered, so we were on our own.
I headed over to an interesting Italian place by my hotel, the Doric.
I ordered my tea and sat back to read the voluminous menu!

".... Yeah, I first suspected something was wrong when my long time customers stopped coming by.  These were friends, parts of my family!

"So, I looked into it.  And you know what?  They were all dead!"

"This took more time than I had so, I contacted an investigation firm to give me a run down at how my friends were all dying!"

Okay, he had my interest!

They all died from heart problems!

The culprit?  Salt.

I perked right up!  Salt can kill you?
So, it does seem, though only recently has a direct link been scientifically proven!
In fact, many fatal ailments can now be traced back to the abundance of salt  in our diet!

But, it is sooooooooooooo tasty!

Last night I ate a half dozen eggs,
Some even with salt!
Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now they disappeared far too fast!

Well, I have now forgotten where I was going w this!
gess-Louise!
Me and my brain!
Or lack there of ......
