Why you avoid stew, chili or the special of the day at greasy spoons

The difference is that pigs won’t touch the stew.

… that and the sous-chef made a huge blunder preparing Fink’s meal.

Stu’s first and last mistake.

There’s no swill like an old swill.

At least he’s not hanging by chains on the wall.

Its all Protein just don’t look to close , it might look back at you !

Swill qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

About three letters.

When there’s a swill, there’s a way!

All’s swill that ends swill.

Let’s hope the swill is three weeks old and not the stew.

My wife’s homemade soups are often so thick we didn’t know if they were soup or stew so now we just call it stoup. (YUM!!)

At the cafeteria at university they served Jello for dessert on Monday. On Tuesday it was Jello with whipped cream, on Wednesday it was Jello, whipped cream and nuts. Thursday it was Jello, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry. By Friday you could not cut the Jello with a jackhammer. We swore the Jello came in a powder in a 45 gallon drum labelled “Janitor in A Drum”. You could strip paint off a wall with that stuff.

I remember this one.

Ew!

Swill probably looks like it has rice in it, but it doesn’t.

A rich, sophisticated guy driving down South gets really hungry and stops at a greasy-spoon diner. He asks the short order cook, “Pardon me, sir, how do you prepare your chickens?” The cook replies, “I just flat out tellz ’em theyz gonna die.”

“aged.”

Trying to think of a place that would qualify as a greasy spoon where I live. Coming up empty.

So I’ve been served swill for the past month, who knew! Yip yip yip yip yip

I remember the one from a long time ago where the Spook got his bowl and announced, “Oh boy, swill”

“So you are saying it hasn’t thoroughly aged yet?”

My ex-wife’s first ex-husband (not a misprint) once stopped at a greasy spoon and asked the server what type of meat was in the soup. The server replied, “Meat.”

Soylent Green, anyone?

About the same amount time between a bad haircut and a good one.

Oh my!!
