And while you are dispensing with that triviality bring out the leaches and lets get down to some bloodletting as well for there are ill humors begging for release.Only the sainted hands of the man in white clothed coat and his sidekick those angels of mercy so pure,so clean are exempt from basic sanitation .

I almost always have to ask my nurse or doctor to wash his/her hands. The looks they give me too. They're just morons, jerks, idiots -- like you said, Vickey: BASIC SANITATION is for everyone. Thanks, gw

Indeed, "The State of the Species". A lot to reflect on.
