All this (yuck!) talk about rotting foods reminds me of something possibly even
more sick. In high school, I knew a guy who kept sandwiches in his locker. Yes,
really! He would leave them there and let them get all green and moldy. I
think he was a moldy sandwich collector. Anyway, I imagine his locker must have
really *stunk*! However, I never wanted to get close to his locker. If I had, I
probably wouldn't be alive today.
