On Hygiene

I am back. I was at Costco today. Costco! On a Saturday! What am I fucking nuts?!! A sea of humanity in which I refuse to swim. Until....today.

All I can say is this....Costco should make, as a prerequisite to membership, it members and employees SHOWER before entering the store. Damn it, there is food there. There were some stanky, and skanky, people in that Costco. The reek off one dude in particular was something fierce. Right in the food area. Let the barfing begin! I thought I would lose it. All the samples that I took were about to come up. But I held it down.

That is how I came by that rule.

I was also thinking about the sign posted at every swimming pool in Ontario. It is Ontario Regulation blah, blah, blah...that every person who enters the pool shall have taken a shower with soap and warm water and rinsed off all residue of soap.

Ever read that? I do not know of ONE person or pool that enforces that or even follows that rule. Fuck, that one is working. Why not just say that this pool is no substitute for a bath or a shower. Unless, you like that just fresh chlorined moments.

I do like the line of prohibiting people with "open sores" from swimming. I have found it actually makes it quite fun and interesting for children to swim after the lepers have finished with their pool time. The kids can then dive for body parts.........and that is what makes swimming fun and adventurous for the kids.

Ciao!
