Don't Tell Brother Lamb

I am in a meat science class and it is not easy! Going into this class I was just hoping and praying that I wouldnt make any big mistakes. But two weeks ago in my monday lab we were making sausage and as I was rinsing out the sausage grinder I got distracted for less than a minute and let the hose down a little bit too far and it got sucked up into the grinder! You definetly can not just pull it out once its in. Benj (the teacher's assistant) came over and I said "Dont tell Brother Lamb". Everyone starts joking and laughing about it so of course Bro. Lamb comes in to see what is going on and sees the hose stuck in his machine. He came over with this look of amused amazement and said that now he has seen everything. Man strike one for Brittni lol. So I definetly did not make it through the class without making a mistake.





The next time we meet for class Im running late and apparantly Bro Lamb is telling the whole class what I did and goes on to say that as soon as he is done talking about me im going to walk into class... which of course with my luck is exactly what happened. The whole class just starts laughing... I didnt know what was going on for all i knew i showed up in my pjs but they filled me in on what he said pretty quick.

Yesterday in meat lab really wasnt much better. We were having a slaughter lab with 3 full grown sheep and 1 lamb. So we had to catch the sheep in the back of a trailor and drag them out into a shoot that gets a live weight of the animal the Bro. Lamb takes a .22 Ruger and gets them in the head which of course stuns them. Then we chain them up and cut the jugular vein in their neck. And with the heart still pumping it doesnt take long for them to bleed out. Well anyways we were in the process of gutting the second ewe and Bro. Lamb is pulling out the intestines, the whole time he is doing it he is talking about how they can be used as the casing for sausage and how good it is. Well he gets to the bottom of the intestines and has us all take a look at where it connects to the stomach and then he yanks it off and it basically explodes, intestine juices everywhere, all up and down the side of my body! Man without quick reflexes I would have had a face full of that disgusting stuff! The whole class starts laughing and Im laughing but mostly so I dont puke! Ugh it smelt so nasty. But if that was bad it gets even better. Bro. Lamb sends me and this kid Brad out to get the last ewe into the shoot and I open the trailor door to let him in and before i can close the trailor door Brad charges the ewe and it bucks and charges straight at the door opening and it knocks me out of the way and takes off running around the livestock center! So we start chasing it hoping to corner and catch it. But Brad is not a good round up partner lol Benj comes out with a rope to catch it and I say " Dont tell Brother Lamb" and he just doubles over laughing like i said the funniest thing in the world and Benj stands up and says.. Is that your new motto because you sure say that alot. Dang - Sad but true lol And when we get back with the ewe, Brother Lamb did that whole smirk and shake head thing that he does when he thinks I do something ridiculis.
