AI Thread Summary
A six-month-old puppy ingested a 13-inch serrated knife, resulting in an 8-inch scar after surgery. The incident sparked humor about the dog's intentions, suggesting it was trying to prepare a turkey. The conversation also referenced a friend's dog that consumed a six-pack of beer, including the cans, highlighting past veterinary advice to feed the dog bread to help with digestion. The discussion touches on the resilience of dogs and humorously speculates on the benefits of dogs having opposable thumbs for tasks like opening beer and carving turkey.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
