Holy cow.  You must have the digestion of a goat and the liver of an
alligator [toughest thing I could think of, oops, one tougher just came to
mind] liver of a San Franciscan.  And no taste buds.  I sit here shuddering
at the thought of those tastes and it's been almost 40 years since I tasted
any of them.  Ugh.

If this is a requirement for owning a van, I'm a van failure/fake.
