Re: ben johnson day salad

ben johnson was the fastest sprinter in the seoul olympics back in '80 sinting or anedda. he tested positive for anabolic steroids and was "disgraced". he was canadian until his "disgrace" and then somehow he morphed into a jamaican.

I can only surmise that the salad will make its exit from your intestinal tract in 9.79 minutes which is the time he ran. anyhoo, correct me smaddi if mi rang pon di timing, caw mi can nevva get ie rite.

Re: ben johnson day salad

Leonie is right. Ben Johnson day is also the day before pay day - usually a Thursday. At least, when I was growing up in Jamaica, is what my mother used to call it.

Re: ben johnson day salad

Ben Johnson day is a Thursday always, and the reason why is that he was the fastest man and since Thursday you have no food and no money, you 'fast', hence calling it Ben Johnson day....
