Dem Germs Where have they been all my life?

I just read about germs, where they hide. Your toothbrush holder is full of ‘em. Your  wash cloth, your dish rag (same as dish cloth), Your steering wheel,  hey watch out for the handle of the shopping cart! Then there is your credit card, covered with germs! Our money? Filthy! (I will e-mail you my address, you should get rid of all your money!) Mobile phones have 18 more times the germs than the  toilet handle. Don’t even think about your cabinet tops! The list goes on!

Please do not get me wrong. I do believe in being clean. I also don’t think you should tempt your health, but what I want to know is was money dirty when I used to put it in my mouth? In the 1940’s there was a company that packaged a nickel pack of redskin peanuts. Every little round box contained a coin. Most were pennies but there were nickels and dimes on rare occasions. But the coin was just dropped in with the peanuts, WHO KNOWS WHO HANDLED THOSE COINS?

I mentioned it before, hundreds of times I have drank from the same Pepsi bottle that my friends did. I’ve used my friends pencils from school with teeth marks all over them.  Did you ever chew your pencil?

Did you mama have stew beef and chicken on the same cutting board and use the same knife?

Wash day all our colored clothes went together and all the whites, handkerchiefs, snotty arms of our shirts, all of it, washed together. (I don’t mean to be nasty by that, but boys wiped their runny noses on their sleeves ‘til they were slick.).  I am sure girls were nicer.

I will be honest, I had one teacher, Mrs Grill. She was the best teacher I ever had bar none, 7th grade. Mrs. Mellissa Grill, Valdese High School.(I guess it was Jr. Hi), but I do remember her teaching health and said she always washed her handkerchiefs separate in Clorox to kill the residual germs.  I don’t remember doing it, but I remember her teaching it.

I’m just wondering why we weren’t lying all over the streets and yards dying from all the germs, or do germs follow the rule of ‘What you don’t know won’t hurt you?’  Just wondering.

Thanks for coming by the log.

Screwed-up people settle fights through violence. Screwed-up people start wars that could kill millions. Normal people settle fights through cookies, cakes, and pies. Normal people are fat.
