This is a humorous look at germaphobia. George Carlin is one of my favorite comedians. Here is a clip of a skit he did on our condition. He does make some good points. Warning! This clip contain some foul language. It doesn’t offend me but if it offends you, don’t watch. If you do watch, enjoy!

A fascinating article that was published in 1999 in theatlantic.com that discusses the idea that all that ails us is caused by pathogens that live in our body. The dictates of evolution virtually demand that the causes of some of humanity’s chronic and most baffling “noninfectious” illnesses will turn out to be pathogens — that is the radical view of a prominent evolutionary biologist
by Judith Hooper, a former newspaper reporter and magazine editor, is the author of Would the Buddha Wear a Walkman? (1989) and The 3-Pound Universe (1986) A LATE-SEPTEMBER heat wave enveloped Amherst College, and young people milled about in shorts or sleeveless summer frocks, or read books on the grass. Inside the red-brick buildings framing the leafy quadrangle students listened to lectures on Ellison and Emerson, on Paul Verlaine and the Holy Roman Empire. Few suspected that strains of the organism that causes cholera were growing nearby, in the Life Sciences Building. If they had known, they would probably not have grasped the implications. But these particular strains of cholera make Paul Ewald smile; they are strong evidence that he is on the right track. Knowing the rules of evolutionary biology, he believes, can change the course of infectious disease. I ran across this video and was impressed, as I am with any invention that helps us stay healthy and avoid germs. I have no affiliation with this company and know nothing about them, but watch the video and go to their site. Here are some of the uses for this product.
1. People at work/office buildings 2. Road trips/driving long distances (the Potty Pax™ is the perfect item for rest stops, gas stations, and truck stops) 3. Daycare/preschools (each child can have their very own Potty Pax™) 4. Camping grounds/hiking trails /RV or trailer park facilities 5. Indoor & outdoor sports venues 6. College dormitories w/community toilets 7. Outdoor concerts and other live performance venues & events 8. At theme parks, picnic grounds, public parks & playgrounds 9. Senior retirement home facilities 10. Malls, hospitals, restaurants, grocery stores, or any place where you might have to use a public restroom. |
