So, we went up to Austin, MN for a friends birthday party yesterday and driving down Interstate 90, I noticed something that disturbed me ever so slightly.
On one side of the interstate is the famous Hormel Factory where, of course, SPAM is made in great quantities.
On the other side, 'THE HORMEL INSTITUTE'
Which wouldn't have been that disturbing. After all, McDonald's has things like 'HAMBURGER UNIVERSITY' so why can't Hormel have an institute? Processing what I'm sure is essentially offal into meat cannot be an easy task.
But underneath that, in smaller letters:
'MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER'
Think about that juxtaposition for a second...
The mind boggles.
