*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Yep, my mom walked around for half a day once while we were camping, wondering why her shoe was so tight...It turned out that there was a six inch slug all curled up and toasty in there... It took an effort to liberate the damn thing from its new home.... Ann tektronix!reed!thoma

Has anyone else heard of slug wars? I was told if you stepped real hard on
the last third or half of a slug, it comes shooting out of its skin. Sounded
real gross. Also I saw a can of slug an something bug killer with a great
slogan
the last meal they'll ever eat

I once had a strange callous-type thing on the instep of my right foot. One night, while taking out the trash, I stepped on a slug. My reaction, as one would expect, was of disgust. I scraped the remains of the slug off into the grass and let the incident slip out of my mind. Lo and behold, I soon noticed that the callous-type thing was disappearing. This happened several years ago and neither slugs nor callous-type thing have returned. I owe my foot to that disgusting little slug. Wayne Morrison (tewo.arpak@gymble)
