    Here’s the second.

    Two men are talking in a bar.

    The first says, ‘I got married because I was tired of eating out, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and wearing shabby clothes.’

    ‘Amazing’ said the second, ‘I just got divorced for the very same reason’.

    Now let’s take into account the MILLIONS and MILLIONS that don’t have any water. Would washing their hands IF they found enough water to drink be more important?

    Biscuit Monster is exactly the same as Cookie Monster, except he has worse teeth. And a hat.

    Does that mean people will live forever by always washing their hands? I know, the intent is people “might” live longer if they washed their hands, but it comes across otherwise. Currently, we will all die sometime.

    I have to say this laundry one is really dumb. Of course they do that much laundry! There are on average 53 players on an nfl team, and if they practice every day, that is laundry every day. The average house hold is what, 3.5? They likely do maybe 2-3 loads every 2 weeks? How is it surprising that 53 players do more laundry in a week than 3.5 do in 2 years?

    It would be nice if everyone had clean water to do so first.

    We’re already overpopulated. Quit washing your hands.

    Not washing your hands is a good way to build your immune system. I submit that more people die from obsessive hand washing than die from not washing their hands.

    I was watching a documentary on Indo China and the river people were dumping their sewage on one side of the boat, and washing their food on the other. Maybe they are not talking specifically about hands. Or maybe that goes on all over the world and we just do not know about it. I heard that if you walked through an average restaurant’s kitchen, and watched them prepare your food, you would not eat it.

    And then there is the Southern version of Cookie Monster named “Biscuits and Gravy Monster” (I’d love that job!)

    Now if the NFL could only send their laundry water to countries that don’t have enough water to wash their hands…

    Believable. Every load must be laundered repeatedly before use.

    Boudreaux’s wife Marie was driving on Hwy. 190 when she got pulled over for speeding.

    The officer ask her for her license, registration and insurance when Marie said that she had a pound of pot under the passenger seat, a hand gun in the glove box, and a dead body in the trunk.

    The officer told her to stay in the car with both hands in sight, as he calls for backup.

    When backup gets there he has her get out of the car so they can search the car.

    They can’t find anything. The Captain says to Marie,Officer Benoit says that you had a pound of pot under the passenger seat, a handgun in the glovebox, and a dead body in the trunk.

    Marie says, “Yeah and I bet he told you I was speeding too”

    A bit belated, but here’s a reminder that what we call “cookie” is called “biscuit” in British English. So the British Biscuit Monster is a literal translation of our Cookie Monster. I’m not saying an identical character, but he’s still named after cookies, not the rolls that we here in the U.S. call “biscuits”.
