Not to mention gloves to put on before touching the door knobs! I'm sure that door knob was not bleached down! Eeeeew!!!!

I think it is best to wrap yourself up like a mummy in saran wrap before you get into the bed. You might have to take it off before you bathe though....or get up in the middle of the night....hmmmm....maybe not such a good idea....

You could just cut holes in all the right places so that you wouldn't have to unwrap the whole thing if you needed to pee in the middle of the night...but then the germs would get in...hmmm....

Oh grief!
Maybe I'll just stay home instead of travelling!
Oh...but wait a second...there are germs at home too...

=-oThere are germs at home?! AT HOME??!!!:(( MY GAWD!! I'm outta here!! Does anyone know a good realtor in Phoenix???...:-?.........

At least they aren't those durn foreener germs.

We could always bathe in Listerine, that would be a good waker upper in the morning!

No foreigner germs?

Well, let's get paranoid for a mo shall we?

We go grocery shopping. I suspect we'll just have to use a shopping cart. There are apparently more germs on those things than a public toilet.

We put the groceries in our car. Then put them in our kitchens. How many of us wach each item off in bleach before stacking them in our pantry?

Bed sheets seem so trivial when you think about all those germs lurking around in our kitchens!
Ewwwwwww!!!!

I can't believe this thread has gone on for three years. . .

I can't believe that you just revived it.

On one of our local radio stations, it was reported that the local crime scene police felt they needed to take their own sheets when traveling after using the special light to see body fluids, etc.. on bed sheets. They said you would not believe what was found on sheets and many even in better hotels aren't washed often and as they should be! Yuck

I know of someone who purposely spills a drink on her bed so that everything is changed on the day she arrives;that way she is guaranteed fresh sheets.

Ah, yes. The classics <i>never</i> die.

JAGIRL Jun 30th, 2006 09:25 AM

letgo Jun 30th, 2006 12:52 PM

What a great thread, JAGIRL!

This one is funny and entertaining, plus it'll help you get started on that diet right away - you won't have an appetite after reading some of this stuff! :-D

I routinely take a little pillow;the bean bag kind, that I can drape over my ears/eyes when I need quiet/dark/privacy. All else takes too much room in the bag. I always just take one bag..more is too much when you are in motion, in my opinion. After all, airplane seats/rental cars, trains, etc., are all pretty dirty, if you looked at them under a microscope, but fortunately, the human animal is pretty tough.

How much privacy a little pillow can give you, SamTing?

JAGIRL Aug 23rd, 2006 03:33 PM

speedbuggy, LOL :D
It is a funny post indeed.
