Apowhat?

Yesterday I saw an ad for clinical trials... and getting remunerated for them. So, today I called the number.

After enduring the joy that is having a file made for me (while I was on hold listening to Rocking Chair by Gwen McRae) and then telling them the "last time I had a puff" was five years ago (maybe) and that I don't suffer from migraine headaches, the question hit--and it was regarding what I do and do not eat.

"I don't eat meat."
"Would you be willing to eat meat for a trial?"
(pause) "No."

Which then led to the end of the call: "You are ineligible for any trials here."
