Police Beat Outtakes

posted by on February 15 at 12:16 PM

This didn’t quite make the cut. But it’s head-scratching enough to warrant a slog. A police report filed LAST WEEK references an incident from LAST NOVEMBER. The victim, a Seattle hospital administrator, was running the Seattle half marathon and took a cup of water from a volunteer. She’d already taken several gulps when she realized that the volunteer had a bloody finger and her water was a suspicious color. She went to the emergency room, where she received a regimen of antiretroviral pills. She filed a report with Labor & Industries, then waited a few more months to file a police report. My ignorant questions: What diseases can you catch from drinking bloody water? Who drinks bloody water?

In my homeland we drink whole blood in bowls taken from Our Mother the cow, small cut and straw, not watered at all.

Very sweet and rich.

Now in America, miss the cow blood.
