An hand ready for being eaten!

Two days ago i discovered that also cooking a pasta could be something extremely dangerous! Shortly, i cooked my hand instead of the pasta-twirls! The boiling water fell from the pot on my right hand. It was really painful, i was burning like a roast chicken!

I went to the hospital as far as i could and, while i was wainting in the waiting room an old and sick (of course...) man, from his stretcher, ask me:

-"Was there also the salt in your pot?".

I was looking at him terrified, thinking at something terrible about the effects of the salt on the burned skin. So i answered:

-"Yes, it was".

He looked at me smiling and said:

"So your hand is ready for being eaten!"
