It's my understanding that Marie Callas (the Diva opera singer, once associated with Aristole Onassis pre-Jackie) was an 'imbiber' of the tapeworm. To rave reviews, in fact. But Ari still left her. Moral of the story? Tapeworms can't solve all your problems.
We live with many forms of bacteria in our guts that help us digest, and we couldn't live without them, and yet see a tape worm and we're all grossed out. It makes you understand why "the difference between cute and ugly is a furry tail". Still I hope you don't start a new trend (or restart an old one)...
Mel sent this to me today. It kinds of fits the "series," so I'm posting it for your viewing pleasure.
Mmmm, tapeworms. That's good eatin'!

Tape worms as a diet plan...never thought of that one...
