The class looked around the room, exchanging puzzled looks and wondering what the hell this event was.
“Beer n’ Balls is a festival at Four Deuces Saloon in which people drink beer and eat Rocky Mountain Oysters,” she said after a few seconds of silence.
As soon as I heard the words “Rocky Mountain Oysters,” I immediately cringed. I had seen them on the Travel Channel time and time again, and I always said to myself after, “That is one thing I will never try.”
For those of you who don’t know, a Rocky Mountain Oyster is a bull calf testicle. Grossed out yet? Well, you will be.
