Butcher's Secret(paid ad) |

 It
takes a lot of work to get that perfect steak from the cowpen to your
plate. Hacking carcasses all day is tedious, exhausting
work. That's why butchers have for eons relied on a trick of the
trade to help relieve boredom. Archaeologists believe stones found among Mastodon bones, and bearing a crude human image, may be proxies for an enemy that ancients pinned to the carcass they were carving up. Cave scratchings near these sites have the legend "whistle while you work, " which seems to verify the theory.  During
World War I, American butchers pinned newspatper clippings of the Kaiser on
carcasses, calling them "beef bogies." . A generation later Tojo
and Hitler were put to similar cathartic use. Today Hillary Clinton is the beef bogie most used by meat pros on two continents, and now you can have your own. Each beef bogie kit contains a generous supply of Hillary photographs, specially sized for home cuts of meat. You also receive a box of staples for attaching the bogie. Plus, if you act now, I'll include 12 special recipes, including "Her Filthiness Fillet," and "MFCS Pot Roast." Order now, via Pay Pal (just $21, shipping included).
