Putting on my technician's hat...

[ffutures]

...having actually defleshed and cleaned up a pig's skull for scientific purposes - took nearly two weeks of soaking in caustic soda and was utterly vile - the thought of putting any sensitive part of my body near something like that is somewhat daunting. Rather Cameron than me!

Yick. Yeah, I'm feeling rather uncomfortable around household cleaners after I asked a nurse friend about the effects of bleach poisoning for a story.

I was thinking more in terms of the teeth etc. but I get your point.

One assumes it was a roasted boars head in the finest tradition of grand medieval banquets. Which, no less vile to me, it astonishes me people have those on dinner tables.

Probably. I wouldn't touch the thing.

I recall a young guest at a revel of my medieval society who did himself a nasty injury trying to carve a boar's head. He was drunk and American, it must be said.

Yeah, those tusks are coming nowhere near my tender bits....

Definitely.
