Iced tea is much more distrubing than grocery carts. At least you can wash your hands after toughing a grocery cart, and given all of the meat juices and salmonella and crap there is in grocery stores, one probably should anyway. I have come across a couple studies that talk about the fecal bacteria count in brewed iced tea in restaurants. Problem is that if the machine is a breeding ground because of the warm liquids stuck in there is is virtually never sanitized.

It's something I don't like to think about.

I kind of figure (this is delusional, I know, but it makes me feel better so I thought I'd share) that by exposing myself to stuff regularly when I'm healthy, I'm less likely to get some weird infection if I ever get really sick. Aside from people with compromised immune systems, it seems like given that there are going to be times where we can't control what we are exposed to, it's maybe better to not suddenly be exposed to a zillion new bad things at once.

Not that I go out of my way to be exposed, but I feel no need to bring portable lysol or bleach solution with me to spray stuff down.

Hate to break it to you, but all of us are dosing ourselves regularly with fecal bacteria with pretty much every human contact. The fact that Sebby's chick had a somewhat browner complexion at the end of the night doesn't profoundly increase the problem.

The Straight Dope on FCB. {Spree: Nothing obscene, but don't read this is you'd like to enjoy an oral interlude any time between now and senility without a nagging little voice in your head saying "fecal coliform bacteria!".}

It's a good try but somehow I think that all the germ-phobes are too busy spraying themselves with Lysol followed by a bleach dip and then retreating to their plastic bubbles.

Edited to add that I had not read Fringey's post when I wrote this.

I'm glad you picked up on that. These guys think theirs tastes good because some chick (who was also faking it) said so.
Newsflash guys, what girls say to each other is not what we'll say to you. It's not so much that you don't like the taste or the texture, it's just that you HATE it so much. It must be that penny flavor that's so offputting.

Sigh. Some women think that men are all stupid and women are all smart.

Why would a GF I had for two-plus years "fake" it when I was willing -- even trying -- to pull out? Why would she get mad at me for pulling out, when that's not what she wanted? Why the huge smile when she swallowed?

Why would the gay man lie to me about some men tasting good? He wasn't talking about me (since I hadn't given him a taste). He knew I had no interest. Or is your theory that male taste buds are fundamentally different than female.

Newsflash: Not every woman is as uptight as you. Not every woman agrees with you on every thing. Not every experience you have is common to the rest of the world.

I'm all for washing my hands before I eat, but there's a reason you have an immune system.

If you also wash your hands after using the bathroom, and after picking up after your dog (you do that, don't you?), and after doing the sex to your soon to be ex, then all is well.

Ohhh, so that's why my pee smells funny the day after I have some nice roasted asparagus.

Pick up after my dog? Why would I pick that up?

And I must admit to not always washing immediately after some traditional Slot B sex. Sometimes I just fall asleep after my hard work.

I love it that you remember this shit and throw it back into people's faces.

FWIW, on the fecal coliform - another nagging thing to know is that there have been tests run on grocery carts and if I find the link, I'll post, but the quantity of fecal coliform and urine on grocery carts will put you off lunch for hours. Needless to say, I haven't used a grocery cart in years and if I need more than I can carry in a hand basket - which doesn't need to touch my hands - then I'll just wait, or make 2 trips.

And another thing...what is it with people sleeping with their dogs? Do people not remember that dogs stand in their pee, or at least walk through it - and they don't shake it off, or wipe, so that crap is still on them and then they roll around on your bedspread. Is that sanitary?

Reminds me of a faux commericial on SNL years ago for FecalVision, the glasses that let you see all fecal matter.

Gotta love the Boston Herald. Read it for your self here.

MEL GIBSON has announced he will show a four-minute clip from his controversial new film about Jesus Christ this weekend at the Harvest Crusade, a Christian festival held in Anaheim, Calif. ``The Passion,'' starring James Caviezel as Christ and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene, has been criticized by some religious leaders who suspect it of being anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic. Attendees at the three-day revival have exactly one day to bone up on their Latin and Aramaic, the only languages spoken in the subtitle-free film.

Latin and Aramaic?! What the...? How can they tell it's anti-anything?

Ben and J. Lo Update du Jour: The PR battle for the hearts and minds of Bennifer fans continued to rage yesterday with People reporting that the couple is still together and one of the Vancouver strippers announcing that her encounter with Affleck left her feeling ``dirty.''

Oh, when will the madness end?

Not soon enough.

Testify, Brother Finch.

I like it. Does that make me a gay guy?

Every woman agrees with you on every thing.

Yes. Thank you.

You know the answer to this one - that's why she's the ex. She was clearly insane.

Because gay men like that, that's why they're gay.

Thank you, you're right again.

I am considenig offering a BJ with swallow to any man who can have at least three women testify that his splooge is "sweet and creamy". Not just is light on the bleach smell and taste but is actually something that tastes good enough that I would be sad if te man took it away from me.

I sense that gay men have slightly different taste experiences when it comes to splooge. NTTAWWT

Edited to say, I may be incorrectly thinking that depositions only take place out of town.

If only they all did. . .

My list had a theme. You will note that I specified sex with your current squeeze. Jumping up and washing after sex that does not involve either Slot C or what I will from this point on call the Thurgreed treatment is not sexy.
