This is probably pretty close to how it went down.
Ever hear of a little something called Polk salad? It contains a leafy green vegetable that is poisonous. However, if you boil it three times, discarding and adding fresh water in between, it's safe to eat. Here's my work of fiction...
Hey Rufus. Let's add some of this to your salad.
Sure thing, says Rufus.
Rufus eats his salad, and keels over dead.
Hmm...Maybe if we boil it, it will be safe.
Hey, Jim Bob. Try it now.
Dang it! Jim Bob died.
Let's boil it again.
All right, Billy Bob. Try it now.
Dang it! Billy Bob's dead.
Let's boil it again. Third time is the charm.
OK, Bernie. Try it now....Bernie? Guess he's not hungry.
