Eating Worms

Little Josh was brought to Dr. Gill cause he hadn't eaten anything for days. Dr. Gill offered him all the goodies he could think of. No luck. He tried a little scolding. It didn't work. A little pleading, to no avail.

Finally he sat down, faced the boy, looked him in the eye. He said, "Look young man, if you can be stubborn, so can I. You're not going anywhere till you eat something.

You can have whatever you want, but only after you have eaten will you leave." Josh just sat and glared for some time, then said, "Ok. I'll eat but I have some conditions.

First, I'll have exactly what I want and exactly how I want it and second you'll share it with me." Dr. Gill was ok with this. He asked the boy what he'd like. "Worms!" said Josh.

Dr. Gill was horrified but didn't want to back out and seem like a loser, so he ordered a plate of worms to be brought in.

"Not that many, just one," yelled Josh as he saw the plate. Everything other than one worm was removed. Josh then demanded that the single worm be cut into two and then Dr. Gill eat half.

Dr. Gill went through the worst ordeal of his life, and after finishing, barely managing to keep his cool said, "Ok, now eat!"

Josh refused as he sobbed, "No way! You ate my half!"
