34 FOOD/BEANS/MUNG BEANS

These dark green sprouting beans were called Mong beans up until the early 1980’s but out of respect for handicappers, spastics, disabilists and retards the PC police replaced the O with a U. They originally tried an I, but no one would buy them.
Hurston Heatherclad, a Yorkshire man industrialist, first imported the Mong from China in 1874. His entrepreneurial idea was to replace coal with beans. He invented the Mongo, an engine that was far superior to the Uniflow industrial steam engine of the time, and is indeed more efficient than anything produce to date. Because growing sprouts is not very macho and mining coal is, the idea was doomed to failure. Hurston was branded a Mincing Mong Merchant and his engine lost to time. In a parallel Universe Hurston succeeded. In this alternate world there is no famine, disease, war or the other one. Everyone has nothing but a feeling of love, acceptance and understanding of everything else. Hurston is a healthy 164-year-old married to pioneering brain surgeon, Gerri Halliwell. The Spice Girls and Health Food shops do not exist.
