I was joking. If all the old people would die and get out of the way, Obama would have an easier time of it.

Thanks! Interesting reading on the history of the song. That perspective makes Sweet Caroline seem a little more logical.

In the 80’s I owned a video store in a small mini-mall right next to a health food store. Watching patrons of the health food store come and go I began to realize that most of them looked ill. They were pale, skinny, they had sunken eyes, and their hair was patchy. They looked as though they were on their LAST LEGS! So did the OWNER! I had 911 set on speed dial in case one of them collapsed while comparing brands of seaweed tablets. When you go to McDonalds you are more likely to see big, strapping, truck driver types. I know I’m generalizing, but I always thought it was an amusing comparison.

Children almost need to be thrown into the most unsanitary situations if they don’t do it themselves. The exposure to all kinds of crud builds their immunity. Keeping them in sterile situations too long will weaken the natural response to infections that their bodies need, and relatively harmless illnesses that children get are sometimes very serious if contracted as an adult (like chicken pox). There is much wisdom in the saying “Whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”.

There are times when logic takes a back seat to urgency. That might even be in The Bible, or some other authoritative text.

In a logical world, a man would wash his hands before handling his penis. Think about it a while.

New Hampster, Darn Plumber!

I use a box of surical gloves a month.

Scares the crap out of the client these days.

You remember how the kids would bring the nastiest bugs home from school?

Didn’t they count for something?

Another one I like is the debit pen pad at the grocery store…goodness knows what germs get traded there.

I used to own/operate fast food restaurants and I couldn’t believe how hard it was to get people to wash their hands. I came to the conclusion that common diseases will never be contained/eradicated because of this basic of human nature: every single individual has the attitude that “germs” are something that “other people” have!
My observation was that they regarded hand-washing as just a big hassle, because they themselves were as pure as a freshly-bathed newborn. Only “other people” were contaminated in some way. Some could be convinced to wash given the icky thought that they could “get something” from somebody else, but the thought of their passing along a germ never, ever, ever entered their consciousness.

” . . . what’s more I’d bet you wash your hands after using the bathroom.”

I do, arran. Cross my heart. It makes me a little queasy that if true–most men don’t wash their hands–and then I go to a restaurant and . . .

I don’t even want to go there. Ignorance, in this case, will keep me from having an attack of paranoia.

And yes, this thread is a relief from the torture discussion. Laughing is good for the soul.
