Miracle of Pineapple

When I was a child, I was scheduled to have surgery to remove my tonsils. The night before, my parents took me to our favorite Chinese restaurant. The proprietor saw me looking glum and was concerned as I was usually the opposite. When we told him that I was down because my tonsils were to be removed tomorrow, he brought me canned pineapple, and told the story of how he was spared an operation to remove his tonsils back in his home country by the enzymes in canned pineapple that eliminated the inflammation of his tonsils. Miraculously, the canned crushed pineapple had the same effect on me and saved my tonsils that remain with me as a fifty-one year old today.
