"Ever get a scare while having a pee after eating beets?"

I love raw beetroot shredded and tossed with fresh lemon and orange juice and mixed with either walnuts or pine nuts. I got into the spirit of it one afternoon and had about three bowls. I forgot I'd eaten it by the time next morning came around. I awoke, had a coffee and a smoke and went to the loo for my constitutional. I stood up to flush and I glanced into the bowl. You wanna give yer heart a lesson in start/stop thumping? Sheesh. Looked like a quart of fresh red blood in the bowl. Then I thought back . . . .
