A lesson in Microbiology

So my brother had a party on the weekend,and he bought 2 fruit platters. Now the last time he bought a fruit platter for a party, the leftovers sat there for 2 days and then I ate about 6-8 pieces every night until it was gone. Then my dad bitched at me about being a pig, and hogging all the good stuff for myself. So this time I didn't touch the leftovers until tonight. Which is about...5 days after the party. And no one has even opened it until now. So what do I find among the grapes. strawberries, watermelon, canteloupe, honeydew melon, and pineapple? Fuzzy mold growing on the grapes, spreading to the strawberries, possessing the pineapple and contaminating the canteloupe. The honeydew had a possible spot and the watermelon looked ok. So I picked off 2 watermelon and 2 honeydew. I tried the canteloupe but it tasted bitter so I spat it out. Well what a wonderful waste of nutrients, grower's hard work, and $9 Cdn. Did I throw it out? Nope, because if they wanna bitch at me about eating the food, then here's the f*cking reason why food needs to be eaten soon. Label said it was best before Aug 13.

Speaking of my dad being a dumb@ss, he always lectures me on being fat (aside from other sh!t that I've mentioned) and then it's always at the dinner table when there's a drumstick left or whatever, he'll tell me to eat it. And so I go "I'm full, you eat it." and he acts all pissed off. And then wraps it as leftovers for next dinner. Yumm, food that's been reheated 5 times. For some reason, I usually don't eat at home at the same time as the rest of them, and if I have to, I'm usually sitting in front of the TV instead of the dinner table.
