My friend almost died from eating at Subway.

It turns out my friend Chris, who I have known for several years, almost died at the hospital as a result of some nasty food poisoning. The cause: Something he ate at Subway. If THAT doesn't speak badly of fast food restaurants, I don't know what does. Thankfully, he's still alive, and he's coming to visit me today from out of state. He's also bringing with him an old friend who I want to get re-acquainted with, Liz. I'm looking forward to tonight, I get to re-connect with my friends after a long time of not seeing them.

As if that wasn't shocking enough, my friend Al nearly choked on ice. Why is it that all my closest friends seem to have had near-death experiences? It's sort of creepy and foreboding...
