Milenko, the rotten food eater

I found moldy meat, sausages to be precise, inside a box in the fridge... Logically I decided to throw it out, seeing as moldy meat of any sort is dangerous for consumption, and it could spread to other things... And then 6 hours later, I got a phone call from my roommate who had gotten the meat " hey why did you throw it out?... just so you know, I took it out of the trash, I washed it, and Im gonna have it for dinner today..." Two days later, I brought him the leftover sausages to the hospitable, where he was, because he got food poisoning...

I'm keeping this because it's...well, funny! He really went out of his way, and I'll wager the hospital bill was more than the price of a box of new sausages!

(Thunk) Doesn't he know molds and bacteria can release dangerous toxins into old food? Thanks!
