As a young mum and unpublished author yet to have a career, I worked in the local big supermarket filling shelves. One of the warehouse employees opened one of those disgusting canned hams, took a big bite out of it, then left it on the warehouse shelves for us to find when we came to fill our trolleys to take out on the shop floor. Eeeeuwww!
In the days before sealed tops on bottles etc, I would sometimes, while shelf filling, see customers unscrewing the lids of sauces etc and having a good sniff, or sometimes even dabbing a finger to take a taste. Vile!
Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard nI chasront
'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
