"Maternity Ward and Placenta Pit"
My friend Jim just got back from running a photography workshop for kids in a refugee camp in western Uganda. He sent me an email with the following photo attached and "This is Uganda" in the subject line. Cruelly, he hasn't given me any juicy stories (or afterbirths) to chew on.
Jim gave me these scant details on the above sign:
Jim gave me these scant details on the above sign:
"It's a concrete airtight box for disposing of placentas, but I'm having a hard time finding out why it's necessary. I think it's HIV-related but I don't know why. The sign was on the side of the road and there was no one to ask while I was there. I'll find out. - Jim"Holy shit. Placenta Pits? What the fuck. Is this how bad Africa has gotten? Or is this a sign that it's getting better? I don't know. If anyone can shed some light, please do.

I can't tell if that's a good or a bad sign, but I think it'd be better if it read "Maternity Ward, Placenta Pit, and Snack Bar."
There are a few things to be proud of in life: 1) your own accomplishments, 2) your kids' accomplishments, 3) a good leebow, and 4) Google placement for obscure phrases.
I'd trade being 3rd for placenta pit for my 1st in doom & unmitigated failure. There should be a market for this.

it is said that the placenta is full of all sorts of healthy stuff
unless of course
it is HIV positive
then it would not work so good in any of Jimmy's recipes
