Blue Ringed Octopi
On 02/04/2013 in Question
Will I die if I’m bitten by a blue ringed octopus?
———- from Don Justice of Northampton, MA
Yes, but it’s supposed to be the most pleasant of deaths. Apparently, youfind yourself on Gilligans Island being ministered to by Ginger and MaryAnn. The theme from “A Summer Place” plays continually in the backgroundand you’re sipping a bright blue tropical drink with a cheery orange parasolstuck in the stop. Your whole body tingles with delight. Suddenly,identical twins named Skeeter and Scooter appear, holding transistor radiosand doing the “frug” with wild abandon. Frank and the rest of the members of the Rat Pack appear, and greet you as a hale fellow, well met. Then, they raise you above their shoulders and carry you off to a wild, swinging affair, filled withhalf-clothed celebrities and fun with a capital “F”. So go find a blueoctopus and get ready to finally live!
