austin_millbarge: FirstNationalBastard: The obsession with everything being sterile and clean is doing us more harm than good.

Wanting everything you touch to be not slathered in poo isn't the same as wanting everything to be sterile.

Let me tell you a true story about immunization ok. When I was a little boy in New York city in the nineteen-forties, we swam in the Hudson river. And it was filled with raw sewage! OK? We swam in raw sewage, you know, to cool off. And at that time the big fear was polio. Thousands of kids died from polio every year. But you know something? In my neighborhood no one ever got polio. No one! EVER! You know why? Cause WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! It strengthened our immune system, the polio never had a prayer. We were tempered in raw shiat!

So personally I never take any precautions against germs. I don't shy away from people who sneeze and cough. I don't wipe off the telephone, I don't cover the toilet seat, and if I drop food on the floor I pick it up and eat it! Even if I'm at side walk cafe! IN CALCUTTA! THE POOR SECTION! ON NEW YEARS MORNING DURING A SOCCER RIOT!

My immune system is equipped with the biological equivalent of fully automatic military assault rifles, with night vision and laser scopes. And we have recently acquired phosphorous grenades, cluster bombs and anti personnel fragmentation mines.

Rik01: '' -- or start carrying a few cans of Lysol spray.''

That last bit made me lol - reminded me of this post on snopes: (new window)

''...employees were told to keep Lysol with them at all times.
Theres a new disease brought in by foreigners that starts out
like small whiteheads on the skin. They were told to spray every John and
Motel room that they used or stayed in, to spray sheets and even carpets.''

Enjoyed reading some of those replies; many are also lol-worthy.
But just the idea of a totally Lysol-ed room makes me want to gag.

/and 'yes' the 'John' jokes are there
//Math: How many cans of Lysol do you need to bring to nuke everything on an average motel room carpet?

But you touch your dick then shake my hand after? Thanks

Well then, you put gloves on before I shake your hand. I don't want my clean dick to be befouled by your dirty hands. I mean, I know where my dick has been. But your hands?

Makh: Poop is hiding in your room and it will strike at any time. Poop watches you while you are sleeping, and poop follows you where you go.

But does poop watch me poop?

Knowing you, darling, I would not be suprised.

intelligent comment below: FirstNationalBastard: The obsession with everything being sterile and clean is doing us more harm than good.

All this antibacterial shiat is just breeding supergerms that can't be killed with traditional methods.

No, what's creating supergerms is everyone rushing to take medicine every time they get a little sick. The overuse of antibiotics for conditions that are not bacterial in nature, such as viral upper respiratory infections without symptoms of bacterial superinfection, and the idiots out there who DO have an appropriately prescribed antibiotic, but save the medicine after they start "feeling better".
