As I look back at this week’s posts, I see that here is a clear trend towards thoughtful subjects. I intend to maintain that trend today, and finish out the week with an item that will bless your lives. Why? Because my charity never…um… er… faileth.
If you are going grocery shopping this weekend, read this first:
Researchers from the University of Arizona ran around swabbing the handles of grocery carts in four states. Do you want to know what they found? Are you sure?
72% of the shopping carts tested positive for fecal bacteria. Fecal. As in feces. As in (your favorite term here).
72%
For additional information, read the USA Today article about the study, or go directly to The Revelation of St. John, Chapter 16.
At this time I would like to announce that the MMM family is not responsible, in any way, for this plague. None of our children are in the diaper stage and, as of now, I am not either.
While the study does not lis the four states where samples were gathered, I can assure you that I live in one of the other 44.
Have a happy Friday. I’m gonna go boil my hands.
This is an old post, so you may not even see this. But I was just wondering, which Revelation 16 plague you would assign to feces-covered shopping cart handles? I was thinking the fifth was the best fit:
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Oh, MMM, why is it when I visit your blog, I become so diverted and distracted?
I read (and enjoy) your current post, but then those little boxes at the bottom take me off to another place and then another and did you know, you can’t return to where you were? The little boxes change.
It is always an adventure, but I’ve got to figure out how to leave a trail of digital bread crumbs so I can find myself out of your maze.
Have you seen the research for fecal in ice machines? ? ICK! And everywhere else. It’s a dirty world out there!!!
I just took 10 steps backward, I guess I’ll be carrying my lysol can around with me *again* everywhere I go. Thanks?
I never paid much attention to the sanitizer stations. I had always assumed that the toddlers in the carts had already sucked off all the really dangerous stuff.
I’ve noticed the trend with environementalist bringing their own re-usable bags to shop with. I think I’m going to build my own grocery cart to take with me from now on.
That’s why they created those cart santitizer stations near the shopping carts. I always use them.
