Word on the street - Aug. 26, 2010

If you had to choose, what would you rather eat - Iowa eggs or Gulf Coast shrimp?

John Weitmann, Colfax

“That’s a loaded question, isn’t it? I guess I could cook the eggs long enough to get rid of the salmonella. I don’t know how long you’d have to cook a shrimp to get rid of the oil.”

Daniel Tate, Colfax

“I’d probably say shrimp. I despise shrimp, but I figure you could wash off the oil. They can wash oil off penguins.”

Cole Klaveano, Steptoe

“I guess the Iowa eggs. I think the oil would mess up your system.”

Bruce Davidson, Colfax

“I’d cook ‘em both up together. I’ve got a stomach that can handle anything.”

Graham Reynolds, Colfax

“Probably the eggs.”

You think your system could handle them better?

“Hopefully.”
