Today’s Prognosis on Eating Things Off the Floor
November 28th, 2007

What’s with this whole five second rule?
If I’m eating an Oreo cookie and the damn thing falls on the floor…and five minutes go by, you still better believe that I’m going to kneel down (using my legs, not my back), pick up that glorious little cookie, give it a quick five-second burst of air, and shove that baby back into my mouth. I’ll do it at a five minute count, a ten minute count, and the next morning if I find it wedged underneath the fridge.
Because this whole eating off the floor thing has gotten a totally bad rap.
