Grosser than gross

In a Burger King bathroom just off exit 2 of the Ohio Turnpike, this event transpired while I was drying my hands:

A guy comes out of the poop stall with a big plastic pop cup from the joint.  He skips washing his hands and proceeds to rinse the cup out at the sink and then fills it up with water.  He puts the lid back on.  He then picks up the straw from “between the wall and the faucet” where he had placed it.  He begins sticking it into the cup when he realizes he’s got it the wrong way for some reason.  He takes it out, turns it end over end and sticks it back in.  He leaves.

I don’t know if the guy was planning on drinking it or had some other use for it, but the thought of drinking from a straw that was sitting on a Burger King sink is enough to make me gag.

What were you doing 38 years ago?

I was arriving.  And there was much rejoicing.

I’ve yet to reclaim the throne of my people and fulfill the prophecy, but hey, there’s still time, right.

Proof that there’s still hit internet sites just waiting to be coded.  Is it me or is the only way these sites like this make any money is advertising banners?

More idiocy in motion.

None for me this year, thank you.

Unanswered Question

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

When I’m driving on the interstate, cruise set to 70, sitting in the right lane with no one in front of me for a long way, why does some moron always feel the need to pass me, pull over in front of me, and slow down?  I know I didn’t change speed, but now I have to slow down.  Why?  If this person wanted to go 65, why did they go 75 to pass me?  These are the questions that keep me up at night.  Idiots with licenses.
