5. I've read it's genetic. Funny story:
A nurse friend told me that the nurses' aids (emptiers of bedpans) once threatened to go on strike unless the dietitian PERMANENTLY removed asparagus from the patients' menu.

6. Yeah, but I so seldom eat it that I forget, and think something is wrong with me.
