More than a grain of Truth in that ;)

Dirt is healthy.

Dirt is healthy.

Diversity is our strength. At least when it comes to immune systems. Hell, last Monday I stepped on a rusty nail sticking through a wooden plank covered with leaves (that's why I didn't see it, would not have done so for the sheer hell of it), it went about 1/2 inch into my heel. Bled a little, but sealed itself after a day or so. Inspired by Biden, I was considering holding all the neighbors at gunpoint until they all got a tetanus shot, but thought better of it once I had some french toast the next day.

Drinking from the horse bucket will give you good immunity.

I can recall when myself and my twin sister were in Kindergarten. We would get off the bus and Mom would be there to meet us.

One time we got off the school bus and she was not there. My sister didn't know which way to go. But I did and I led her home. ;)

I got lost at Kings Island one time when I was about six. That seemed like hours, but somewhere in the back of my mind I was thinking how cool it would be if I had to stay there. :) I was more worried about being punished for wandering off than I was about being alone, cold, or hungry. I had never been seriously cold or hungry before then.

When working on State Highways in winter we would wear Jersey gloves and put extra large White mules over them. The two layers acted like insulation so we could work outside shoveling cold patch in winter so we did not get frost bite on the fingers.

In summer time it was a different story entirely. We would get a load of hot asphalt and go pot hole patching. We would pick up hub caps that got knocked of the rims of cars that hit the holes. We would turn them in at a place in Des Plaines and they would clean them up and resell them. We got a couple of bucks for them. A nice spoke hub cap would get us $5.

Once I beat the foreman to a hub cap. He said, "You're taking milk from my baby's mouth." I replied, "It's more like liquor from yours." ROTFLOL

If Bidet cared about workers he would offer the same deal for snot masks and rubber gloves (I have no idea why rubber gloves have become so popular during WuHoax, but I have to pick up at least 1/2 dozen off my lawn every week.)

I got the same speech from a guy who was basically a good boss once. I explained to the whole room (all staff - what happened, how can we prevent it...) I had no idea what had happened, he always respected me a little bit more after that. Not a lot more respect, but I think he got the idea that the other employees were with me in not taking complete shit from him.
