Clean Underwear
So I read an article about average things with lots of germs on them - and they said that laundry was up there and that the average pair of used underwear had 1gram of fecal matter on them (gross - I know.) That just makes me think - does no one wipe their ass? Is this incomplete ass wiping. I wonder what A) how they came up with the stats B) is there a disparity between mens and women's underwear? C) does this mean that everyone should wear white underwear so that we can bleach and sanitize them D) that old adage saying that you would never want to go to the hospital in dirty underwear is soooo true E) I'm totally grossed out by this F) I'm so glad I don't do laundry for a living
The other odd place I hadn't thought of was the kitchen sink. That there were tons of germs per square inch. After thinking about this one I totally concur. I don't know about anyone else but I mainly use my sink for washing fruits and veggies - IE all the germies on the grocery store food from everyone fingering it before I bought it, throwing odds and ends down in the garbage disposal that germies like to dine on, throwing uneaten food down - IE my mouth germs all over the place, potentially cleaning dishes - I usually just use it to rinse off all the big chunks and throw it in the dishwasher for a proper cleaning. If you didn't have a dishwasher and had to wash them in the sink then all these germs would be all over. And all the germs would get on your "clean" dishes - and back into your mouth when you eat the food. Unless you put boiling food on your plate - then the heat could kill the germs if it was boiling for a long enough time. That doesn't seem very typical though.
I tried to sign up for an E-ZPass this weekend (if you don't live in the NE - it's the radio transmitter that you attach to the inside of your windshield - so that you can go by tollbooths and they automatically debit from your account instead of having to stop and pay the toll each time. You also get discounts for having one - and you go a lot faster through the booth traffic.) I had everything set - except my license plate number. Who knows that kind of crap? I was way too lazy to go outside and actually look it up on my car. I guess it will have to wait until work on Monday when I try to memorize it and run instead and fill out the online form before I forget it again. Not like it matters to memorize it as I will have a new plate number and state relatively soon.
I feel really old - Ellsbury and Pedroia are both younger than me and they are playing in the Series. I suck at life.
