An Outbreak of Salmonella Infection

I'm ready for my close-up Mr. Demille

Question 1:

The CDC and U.S. Air Force joined up to make an educational and instructive film about the rapid spread of a salmonella infection. Joining in the production were many airmen, who's job included pretending to be sick and?

Vomiting

Shooting all the salmonella they could find, no questions asked

Question 2:

After dinner, some of the men experienced stomach discomfort, but it got steadily worse. "Vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it was hard to tell which caused the most trouble. One thing is sure...."

The boys were well-taken care of

Nobody's going to want seconds

Question 3:

The medical men at the base suspected some sort of food poisoning. They were right, but which food?

It was the chef surprise, "Surprise"

It was the chicken and gravy that was that night's salmonella special

Question 4:

At last the source of the sickness was found. The cooks at the air force base had done what the Russians couldn't, take out scores of airmen in one swoop. What dastardly act on the kitchen caused all this pain & misery?

It was carelessness, a cutting board was used first for raw food, then cooked food, transferring the salmonella on the unwashed board.

It was intentional, Rico always wanted to be a pilot, but he was too short, so his spite finally got the best of him
