i do seem to recall that you like pineapple a great deal, but after eating a lot of it (one weekend, long ago, perhaps) you found that it stung the inside of your mouth, a sensation with which I am familiar, and I think my sister too. she has concluded that it's an allergy. i have concluded that, should that be the case, the consequences of consumption are too mild to keep me from eating pineapple, for i hold it dear to my heart.
actually hehe i dont remember why but this last summer i did some reading and aparently there is some protein in pineapple that disolves your mouth very slowly (your gums and tongue and other soft tissues), and if you eat large ammounts of it then you can even bleed a little.
I don't know if all that is true, now, since it is not mentioned on the wikipedia entry for the protein, but it does mention that it is used as a meat tenderizer :)
Im sure there is some corny joke to be made concerning the tenderizer bit...

decided to give the guy with an industrial drill through his head a rest for the time being, and this was the farthest i could get.
