Why you insensitive bigot! (just kidding;) Seriously, we have here appalling evidence of the failure to assimilate immigrants to American culture-first the victim living here 20 years(!) who can't speak English, and the worker who does not comprehend American standards of personal hygeine. Thanks, multiculturalists and liberals!/s

Cue Comfortably Numb...

That's "Hey You."

"...and the worms ate into his brain...."

[Trillian]

Gross, and I was just watching that Futurama ep where Fry gets worms. No toilet sandwiches for me!

The tapeworm eggs are spread by a human host who doesn't practice good hygiene after using the restroom.

Lots of fools on this thread were bragging about how they don't wash their hands:

Survey finds airport restroom users seldom wash

[TEXOKIE]

"And our border is open to millions of third world illegals who don't have have or know good hygiene habits doing all kinds of work with our food chain."

Exactly!!

Hi Rosie!!! Hope things are going good for you!

I have heard that ceviche' (shrimp and other seafood "cooked" in lime juice and other acidic substances) can give you worms.

"Rare brain worms spread by unsanitary cooks[Texas]"

That would explain a lot of what goes on in Austin...

I dislike paranoia but I'm really getting leery of eating out.

You have reason to be concerned. I've been to too many restaurant restrooms and seen so many come out of the toilet and walk right out without even getting close to the sink. Surely, some of these slobs are involved in preparing and/or serving the food. I've begun to avoid eating out whenever possible since I know that there are lots of food-borne diseases. And it's a bigger problem now that we have more and more immigrants to whom hygiene is a "foreign" concept.

You forgot the whooping cough epidemic from a couple of years ago.

It's not over, there have been several new cases recently

[Old Professer]

House has cured every thing from headlice to toejam but we love him for his bedside manner.

[Old Professer]

Wow, for a while there, I was scared that you might be an English teacher.

[Old Professer]

Me too, I take them home to use again.

[SwinneySwitch]

Me too.

Me too.

Don't eat raw oysters, sushi or sashimi anymore.

The thing I found most interesting about your 31/2 year old link was that the most fastidious hand washers were in Toronto during and following the SARS scare where a total of 32 Torontons were said to have died from SARS while the murder rate plodded along at 94 for the year.

[TheLion]

Ping!

[lastchance]

Yes it is the bedside manner that stands out.

I love Hugh Laurie. Hard to believe he got his start in such gems as A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and the Black Adder series.

[BUSHdude2000]

Houston Aliens Pings!

You forgot his best "Jeeves and Wooster"

Bon appetite
