I am now a germophobe. Thank you, msnbc.com

Ew.

...

I just didn't need to know about that. Ew.

...

Oh look, an excuse not to make my bed! ... Ew.

I've been doing the towel-to-doorknob schtick for quite some time now. I think it helps.

I seek out germs. Without them, my immune system would be weak, like you people.

Do you always lick your menu in the restaurant?

No. Sometimes I do it outside.

Take a fuckin' chance bunch of goddamn pussies.Besides, what d'ya think you have an immune system for? It's for killing germs! But it needs practice, it needs germs to practice on. So if you kill all the germs around you, and live a completely sterile life, then when germs do come along, you're not gonna be prepared. And never mind ordinary germs, what are you gonna do when some super virus comes along that turns your vital organs into liquid shit?! I'll tell you what your gonna do ... you're gonna get sick. You're gonna die and your gonna deserve it because you're fucking weak and you got a fuckin' weak immune system!

Let me tell you a true story about immunization ok. When I was a little boy in New York city in the nineteen-forties, we swam in the Hudson river. And it was filled with raw sewage! OK? We swam in raw sewage, you know, to cool off. And at that time the big fear was polio. Thousands of kids died from polio every year. But you know something? In my neighborhood no one ever got polio. No one! EVER! You know why? Cause WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! It strengthened our immune system, the polio never had a prayer. We were tempered in raw shit!

...

My immune system is equipped with the biological equivalent of fully automatic military assault rifles, with night vision and laser scopes. And we have recently acquired phosphorous grenades, cluster bombs and anti personnel fragmentation mines.

So, when my white blood cells are on patrol reconnoitering my blood stream seeking out strangers and other undesirables, and if they see any, ANY, suspicious looking germs of any kind, THEY DON'T. FUCK. AROUND. They whip out the weapons, they wax the motherfucker and deposit the unlucky fellow directly into my colon! Into my colon. There's no nonsense! There's no miranda warning, there's none of that three strikes and your out bullshit. First defense, BAM! Into the colon you go!

When I was in the Army and living in the barracks, I would get sick (and by sick, I mean can't got to work. Not just the sniffles or achy crappy feeling.) 1-2 times a year. Now that I am out, I haven't gotten sick once in almost 2 years. I would like to thank the Army and the barracks for boosting my immune system to the point it is at today.

For a long stretch of about 3 years I was getting sick at least every 3 or 4 months. I attributed this to the surroundings I was exposed to - a horribly dirty school, massive amounts of money being handled on a daily basis, a lack of sleep and probably a few others that I can't even think of.

I'm more careful nowadays, though. I wash my hands before eating and or touching my face, and I sleep (or try to) about 7 to 8 hours a night as opposed to 4. The amount of times that I have gotten sick in the last year seems to have dropped a lot as a result.

I welcome germs and leave the medicine for the weak.

. . . And the physical therapy. My surgeon was convinced the two-week mark after my surgery was January 3rd when that was in fact the day of surgery. This due to the fact that my leg was already very strong again. I seriously tried to tell him he was wrong but he wasn't having any of it.

Not sure if that has to do with my immune system, but it's still cool I think.

Kids are also great for immune system boosting. Filthy little plague rats.

Wunderkind · « **Reply #11 on:** May 27, 2008, 10:31:13 PM »

I don't really go out of my way for germs, in any sense of the phrase. But this is one of those occasions, wherein (for me anyway) ignorance really is bliss. I just would rather not know what it is I'm putting my hands on, so that I don't have think about it while I eat my fries.

Not to mention ...
Why, hello, sensationalized media report!

Chris · « **Reply #12 on:** May 28, 2008, 02:10:50 AM »

Would you like to know what's actually on your fries rather than what's on your hands?

Wunderkind · « **Reply #13 on:** May 28, 2008, 02:36:40 AM »

I worked in fast-food in the kitchen... for Disney. I already know. Fortunately, I don't eat fries from fast food anymore. I eat fries from home, but thank you. By the way, don't eat at Pecos Bill's in Disney World, Florida. Just don't eat there.

I used to get colds 3-4 times a year, at least.

Since I quit smoking, that's down to 1 or 2, tops. I think that makes a big difference by itself, without changing much else.
