Stomach Ache
I had just gotten out of my physics midterm when some guys with the “Muslim Students for Dialogue” organization offered me from free pudding. What luck, I thought, as I accepted. I was feeling hungry! So I ate it on the way to my dorm.
Then, I was walking over to Cardinal Gardens to work on a group project when a terrible stomach ache hit me. I’m not sure why, but I’d never felt anything like it before. It was really bad. I wanted to throw up just to see if it would make the pain go away. I don’t know how to describe it. It was not complicated. Just a simple pain in the stomach that felt like it was caused by something I ate. Is it possible that it was caused by the pudding I had eaten just 10 minutes earlier?
I couldn’t walk anymore due to the stomach ache, so I took a break and sat down in a bench outside the building that has the sign “The Cheshire Cat.” I kept telling myself that I would do anything to make it go away. The pain made me rethink all the good in life, and reflect on the fact that most of the time, life is awesome. I love living. It’s just so great and so amazing.
I wasn’t sure it would ever stop. But after about 20 minutes, it did. Luckily, it seemed to be only temporary. I feel like God was trying to tell me something. I’m not sure what, but I want to remember this event, and think about it. There’s a lesson to be learned. Don’t take free pudding from muslim students?
The pudding came with a recipe. It’s called Asure. It also has some info about traditions involving it and such. I don’t think I’ll eat it again, just in case the stomache ache was caused by it.
[…] Elliot’s post made me laugh! […]
Hmm, the diagnosis of Dr. Ad Sense is that the stomach pain was either a case of gastritis or maybe a stomach ulcer.
“Don’t take free pudding from muslim students?” Is such a racist comment you should feel ashamed of YOUR SELF..
I apologize. It was meant as a joke, hence the question mark (‘?’) at the end.
Do anything else happen to you? Did it act as an ultimate colon cleanse later on if you know what i mean?
P.S. I got the joke. Don’t worry!
I hope I never have a stomach as bad as that. I dont think you were being racist on that comment about the muslims. It is kinda weird to take pudding from a group of people you barely know, you should be careful doing that, they could have put something in it, and no offense to the Muslims, Im talking about anybody could do that.
omg that story so sucked i mean cummon talk about exadgerating i mean please, ive expirienced things worse than that. please. next time you make a thing like that, make it interesting cuzz if you ask me, it felt like i was just skimming. all i could see was blah blah blah!!!!!!!!
theres no need to be racist…doesnt look like much of a joke to me
Iv’e had this same exact problem.
