Panda meat

An old man smoking a long pipe emerges from the back of a restaurant lit up in creepy orange neon "Fuk U Too" He hands an envelope to the driver. The toothless man grins, and jumps out of the vehicle, walks around to the back sliding door, and opens it to reveal a bamboo cage with two baby pandas. The driver takes out the cage and hands it to the old chinese man with the pipe, and says, "Those were the last two for a while, they're hard to come by you know?" "Yes, yes I know snickers Mr. Fuk U Too, as he billows rank opium smoke out of one flaring nostril Smiling and shaking his head, he grabs the cage and mutters, "But wait until you taste this soup..."
