Video showing Mann scooping up a glass of water and downing the filthy liquid has since gone viral.

I thought Hindus taking a dip in the Ganges was risky but this is a different level.
I wouldn’t accept an all expense paid trip to India, no way.

Mann participated in youth comedy festivals and inter-college competitions. He won two gold medals at a competition at the Punjabi University, Patiala for the Shaheed Udham Singh Government College, Sunam.
Mann developed comedy routines about typical Indian issues such as politics, business and sport. His first comedy album was with comedian Jagtar Jaggi. Together, they made a television program called Jugnu Kehnda Hai for Alpha ETC Punjabi. Ten years later, they parted ways.[4] Mann then formed a comedy partnership with Rana Ranbir. Together, they made the television program, Jugnu Mast Mast for Alpha ETC Punjabi. In 2006, Mann and Jaggi reunited and toured Canada and England with their show, No Life With Wife.

Well, at least his penis didn’t fly off like that one guy eating gluten (to show it was safe) did on South Park.
I hate when that happens. That’s why I stopped eating gluten
Potable water is a luxury Americans take for granted, like homes wired with electricity and an abundance of food, but the Democrats will give us all a lesson in what’s important when we lose it all. You can count on it.

Science!
One of my favorite places to go for an all day picnic was nearby river Mahi in western India. The flowing water was waist deep and clear on a sandy bottom. We kids loved playing in the fast flowing water. But even as a teenager I knew not to drink that water.
Any natural water is full of bacteria, whether it is from a pond or lake or river. 95% of the time you will not get sick from drinking it. But other 5% it is risky. Best to boil it if you must drink it.
You are thinking of river Ganges.
Oh. Ok.
Thank you.
