A woman ate a receipt in a hamburger
A woman ate a receipt in a hamburger last Tuesday.
“I guess I must have eaten it then. I’m not sure, maybe the receipt was mixed in with the lettuce and somehow found its way into the hamburger.”
“It’s possible that the receipt somehow travelled from the counter to the open kitchen where the hamburgers are made. This doesn’t usually happen, though”, the restaurant manager said.
The queue crept inside the market at Franzéninkatu. It was a hot one, and although it was only slightly past noon, beer was already almost out. The man was missing fingers. “I used to work at a construction site for one of the Kemijoki Dams, pouring cement into the moulds. Once I saw a guy that got buried underneath the cast. He wasn’t fast enough.”
The shivering, convulsions and fever lasted all day. When it was finally over, as I glanced into the water between my thighs, it was as if it had a face and hands.
