Eeewwwww!!!

Reading the morning news headlines, I trip across one that really grabbed my attention:

STUDY REVEALS GROCERY CART GERMS

So, being a curious fellow, I read the article—read it and see video here—to find that a (somewhat limited) study of grocery carts found that 72% of them tested positive for FECAL MATTER. Now, everyday germs are one thing, ladies and gents, but fecal matter fer cryin' out loud!!! I'd like to think this originated from a leaking baby diaper rather than the hands of a fellow grocery shopper, right? Whatever, whichever...eeewwww is right!

I know, germs are everywhere and our bodies deal with most of them just fine, but this has definitely convinced yours truly to take advantage of the germ-killing towelettes stores provide near the carts from now on. Can't hurt, eh?

BEWARE the innocent-looking grocery cart!
