“You quit brushing your teeth again. If you won’t brush, at least rinse with some mouthwash, that rotten bologna smell is horrible. It gets worse every day.”
“I wish that you would say something nice once in a while.”
“Oh, pardon me! Would you like a mint? They are delicious!”
“Don’t patronize me.”
“Well your breath smells like shit.”
“Maybe I forgot where I put my toothbrush.”
“There are three brand new ones – still in the wrappers right there in the cabinet.”
“People have been pooping in there. People are always pooping and farting and that stuff…you know, if you can smell it, well then you might as well be tasting it.”
“Why are you trying to taste poop in the air?”
“I’m not, its just nasty.”
“What the fuck does that have to do with your teeth not getting brushed?”
“Well they could have parasites.”
“Parasites?”
“Yeah, all kinds of parasites get inside people.”
“For fucks sake!”
“They come out of their asses when they poop.”
“So, you think that there are parasites in the bathroom waiting to infect you?”
“There’s bacteria too. A lot of it gets on the towels after they wash their hands, if they wash them.”
“If you are so worried about the parasites and bacteria in the bathroom, why do you keep toothbrushes in there?”
“Because that’s where the toothpaste is.”

Reminds me of not wanting to use hand dryers in a public restroom.
Wash your hands with soap from a dispenser, under a motion sensor
facet, then stick them under a dryer which is pulling in air full of bacteria
and blowing in back onto your hands. Makes no sense to me.
Give me back the towels, please.
A make sense? write. :-)), but I'll pass on the kiss.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I was reflecting on how we justify things that we do in our lives that make no sense - like filling up our recycling bins until they are full, and instead of reducing what we consume, we just get another bin to fill. I thought that this would be a humorous (and a little disturbing) way to demonstrate how we react to existing problems instead of seeking out and correcting the underlying issues.
