The Buckets by Greg Cravens for May 17, 2020

The next line is

Sara: “Don’t you dare.”

I once read a quote by a microbiologist who said, “As a scientist, I cannot support the five-second rule. As the father of a four-year-old, I live by it.”

I found and M&M that had rolled under the couch, declared 5 day rule and ate it

It depends how hungry you are. A very old Armenian woman who survived the genocide and famine that went with it (excuse me, the unexplained disappearance of the Armenians) told me once that they went through horse droppings from Turk cavalry troops to find grain that hadn’t been digested.

Due to food shortages, the five-second rule has been extended to 20 seconds now.

Well he tried

Living proof of the 5 second rule is all around us, but most won’t admit it.

Disproved by Mythbusters!!!

Seems good for something.

Larry walks from the bathroom barefoot over that floor to where?

I’d say to the socks drawer, then back in the bathroom to wash the feet again and then putting the socks on clean feet.

And that’s why our immune system is so weak. Our gut is so pampered that it can’t handle much of anything that ain’t sterilized.

Give it to Larry.

I am in my late 60s. I never heard of this crazy rule until about 10 years ago – is it something new? My parent’s rule was that if touched it the floor – one does not eat it and I ALWAYS listened to my parents.

Right now I am trying to convince my husband that Corona virus and dented cans delivered with order does not change the “do not eat food from dented cans” rule. Even worse – when I said okay, we’ll set them aside and if we are running of out of the year’s plus supply of food you bought then you can have them – he told me that they have to used first so they don’t have more time to go bad – and a couple of this cans are almost dented in half. We know – never order anything – something always goes wrong, but I let him order to keep him happy.
