A: My sources say that it’s nurses.

Like the cobbler’s and his barefoot kids, they get so tired practicing their craft at the job all day that it just seems like more work to ‘be clean’ when they get home.
An RN’s kitchen can be a very scary place….

I had a friend that wouldn’t hug his children when they were sick. I also know people who bring cans of lysol with them to hotels and use the whole can before they can sit on the bed.

Good hygiene is still absolutely necessary of course, but people are starting to take it too far.

I like this ad and it does make me more inclined to at least poke my head in and see how serious they actually are. I respect a company that can poke fun at itself.

While have been making my own apple cider with the wild yeasts contained in the skins of the apples I grow, there really isn’t such a thing as too clean. Frankly, cleanliness and sanitation has been the greatest preventive of disease ever developed, and it requires virtually no modern technology and little money to carry out.

Men.

I recall the last time she had blood drawn at the doctor’s the resulting purplish bruise was there for a month.

Yes, we should be wary of the superbug epidemic, but there’s a reason to wash your hands and cover your mouth. Resist the backlash against normal hygiene!

I’ll do Wigan Pier next. I had a friend who lived in Wigan, home of the legendary Wigan Casino / Empress Ballroom. Where Northern Soul happened in England.

THIS.

Ironically, the cheapest restaurants (fast food, etc) are often far far more sanitary than more expensive ones.

And it really is true – never ever send your food back to the kitchen.

–

to everyone else I say relax, you’ve been eating food from cooks that just scratched their schweaty balls, processed foods with ground up unmentionables, and other gross things for awhile now.

And don’t even get me started on what leaving your toothbrush on the sink next to the toilet means.

Toothbrush near a toilet? Hope you’ve never smelt a fart in your life!

Poopy nose!

For the rest of you, you could wonder why a little bit of dirty-ness (to you) is the same as a sewage cocktail.

If you can’t figure it out, consider the work of Pavlov as seen through the eyes of Lysol’s ad agency.

Ding!!

With this idea in mind, when I was 19, the morning after a raging house party, I went and collected every undrunk beer in the place. I filled a large pitcher, and poured it all down my throat with a beer bong in about 30 seconds.

I know, it’s a pretty disgusting and awful story. I don’t know who was at the party, and there were probably some cigarette butts in there. I’m not the same person anymore, I don’t even touch alcohol or any other drugs.

But, I really do feel I have a stronger than average immune system :)

So, how’s this gonna work, Tak? I’m in hippyland, I’m sure I can find a colo-crystal-macro-homeo-holo health center/dayspa without too much trouble and send BB the receipt.

Or does BB have a corporate account somewhere?

You mods have access to my email, I’m sure. Just send me the info and I’ll get on losing those easy five pounds and pesky intestinal flora…
