The way I figure it, with maids in and out of the rooms every day, most hotels are a lot cleaner than my own home. But then I like things clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy!

Kal - Floating high above us - you crack me up! ><

Marilyn: when you come to stay, should I break out the rubber gloves along with the Chardonnay?

And after a long debate with myself I just HAVE to say this: I hope rubber gloves is the only thing Kal is turning inside out. For Mrs Kal's sake that is... women's solidarity ya know...

It's getting a little boring without Annabel so let me tell a funny story:
We took my two sons to Disney World when they were about 3 and 6. Being the mother of two sons it was always my pleasure to send my husband into the men's restroom with them while I waited outside. One day while I was waiting, I started to notice that each man who exited the restroom had a grin on his face or was outright laughing. But no sign of my three guys. When my husband finally emerged he looked very aggravated, and my sons were not happy either. It seems that when they entered the bathroom my husband told the boys that they couldn't touch the urinals. Well, my older son who was very proud of how much he had grown said, "Yes I can, daddy, see?" He then took both hands and ran them across the inside of the urinals. My younger son said "Me too daddy", and proceeded to do the same thing at another urinal. My husband was horrified and dragged them over to the sink and scrubbed and scrubbed their hands, to the amusement of all the other men who were in earshot. Nobody got sick, but I thought my hubby was going to have a stroke.

Actually, fresh urine is sterile, unless somebody's got a urinary-tract infection. You could call it the bodily excretion with the lowest "yuck factor".

Sez you, Anonymous. I'm sure there are those who would disagree.

Shall we start a post on "What is your least favorite bodily fluid and why?"

It has occurred to me that Annabell must not go bowling.


Perfect, mrwunrfl~

Anonymous is correct.
So long as this thread is already dedicated to the grimier side of human existence, I'll point out that thorough desert survival knowledge includes simple methods of extracting the water from urine to stave off dehydration.

Annabel,

I am not going to make a comment on your germ concerns, but if you think rinsing with hot water is going to kill anything you better think again.

Even if water is BOILING, you need to expose a contaminated surface for at least 5 minutes to kill the least virulent germs.

I don't mean to add to the paranoia...
