Beet pulp, the dried fiber residue that remains after most of the sugar has been extracted from sliced sugar beets, can take several forms: plain dried, molasses dried (which contains roughly 25 percent molasses) and pelleted—all of which make for excellent feed (dairy farmers use plain dried pulp as a milk-flow stimulant, for instance; and in recent years, large quantities of pelleted pulp has been exported to both Japan and Europe to augment their burgeoning feed programs), and—in the case of beet molasses—can even be used for the production of yeast, chemicals, and some pharmaceuticals.
Of course, none of this is even remotely interesting unless you happen to raise beets or cattle—or unless you happen to be a peacoat-wearing Black Ops type involved in a covert operation to “retire” certain chatty tubers whose post-Cold War restlessness, coupled with a high incidence of drug and alcohol abuse, has resulted in a lot of loose pillow talk around Russian and Chinese prostitutes (who may or may not be deep-cover foreign nationals). In which case, knowing how to dispose of a Beta vulgaris cleanly becomes a matter of national security.
At least, that’s what I’ve heard.
As much as I hate beets, I have to say that having sex with them has never crossed my mind.
Don’t you know nothing beets sex?
Wouldn’t that just be classified as beeting off?
Turing: “times”, as in “Oh, they are a-changin’…”
BINGO! (had to be said)
O/T but, speaking of disposal …
… just a story I’m quite proud of.

Subject: ‘Retirement’ of Remaining Beets
Kerouac, Cassady, Buroughs, Ginsberg, Hencke, Carr, Corso… The Beets are pretty much all dead anyway.. I think only Larry Ferlinghetti is still alive.. and he’s like 86.. I dont know what that randy old bugger would be doing hanging with Chinese and Russian whores.. but that’s Cialis.. ”Livin Large and Laughin Easy”. Age is no gaurantee against loose lips. Take care of it on my authority.
The Pea-Coat wearing D-man will have to retire him with extreme predjudice.. He is a “wet boy”
by nature isnt he ?

I like the word “burgeoning” and it goes well with “beet.” It could be the beginning of a salacious haiku for vegetable fanciers.
Leave us not forget the Cane Mutiny, sweetie…
Good thing that stuff burns is all I’m gonna say.
I saw that movie, Live and Let Disaccharide. Keep it off your lists.
