i once saw a person eat an ostrich burger
Hey, ostrich doesn't taste
all bad. I've had ostrich biltong before. It was a bit strong and the thought of it repulsed me, but it was all right I suppose. Mind you, the average non-South African would probably do an image search on regular old "biltong", not even the ostrich kind, and feel revolted.
Right, disturbing things I've seen... When I lived in Saudi Arabia, a head-on collision happened right next to where I was sitting on my school bus. Shards of glass actually came through the window and landed in my friend's hair. Anyway, the one driver was hunched over his steering wheel, probably dead, his face just a mass of blood and bone. No airbags. The other driver was only stunned. I remember it vividly. He had been driving with his little child on his lap (this is not an uncommon sight in Saudi Arabia) and she had a huge gash on the right side of her forehead. The blood was just pouring out down the side of her face. The look in that little girl's eyes terrified me. I hope her father felt like a fool for allowing his carelessness to do that to his daughter. But as the Saudis say, insh'Allah.
Also in Saudi, my cat went missing for a about a week. I was playing cricket with a friend on one of the fields in our compound, and when I went to retrieve the ball from the hedge border, I found her lying on her side amongst the leaves. She was completely stiff, her mouth frozen in a hiss, with maggots crawling around inside. We reckon a snake got her. I was sick all afternoon. I still feel ill thinking about it, and it has been almost ten years since that day.
Back home in South Africa, I saw a large black woman pull down her panties and squat down in the middle of the road just outside Lahee Park to have a crap. Just like that. In the middle of the road. There were public toilets not too far away, but she decided to go in the road.
I almost vomited right there before my mother realised what I was staring at and made me turn my head.
I've seen a lot of dead animals at the side of the road and that sort of thing, but those three were by far the creepiest and most disgusting.
