If You Drop a Shot Blok on the Road...

[crazycanuck]

Umm if it were me i'd pick it up..

Reason? I don't have a never ending supply of shot bloks but i do have a couple of very nice dealers.. Still, i'm sure it won't kill me to pick up! We're going to go sometime right?

Can you see the headline "panic in bike community, biker killed by a blob of blok.." Cycle for your lives
*ahem*

What doesn't kill me only postpones the inevitable.

Naw, you know I'm just yanking your chain. Funny that, if I dropped it out on the road, I'd wash it off. Especially if I was down to my last one and needed it. When working at the hospital, no matter what I drop (clean glove, whatever) I never pick it up and use it. (well, of course I pick it up, I just throw it away) We have a sparkling clean facility but there is NO 5 sec rule in the hospital.

So what flavor was it anyway?

I actually had this question go through my mind today on a trail in VA. I dropped half of a snack bar right after taking a bite. I quickly picked it up, washed it off, inspected it and plopped it in my mouth. I think it tasted better.

I will eat anything dropped on the ground while hiking, or backpacking on a wilderness trail. If it is a rural road, yes.
I city street or sidewalk, most likely not.
Anywhere inside, forget it!! And I keep an immaculate house.
For some reason things like dirt and bugs only really bother me indoors.

There is actual scientific validity to the 5 second rule you know. Bacteria don't move as fast as we might think and it takes 'em a while to latch on to something. Now, the dirt onthe other hand... well it's dirt and I used to eat it when I was a kid so why not now?

A friend frequently told me "Ya gotta eat a peck o' dirt before you die......"

Ever time I see the title to this thread, I finish it, "does it make a sound?"

Only if you notice...



Like if a tree falls in a forest but noone is there to hear it...

You know I have to pace what strange things I share with you It was pina colada. Not as good as the cran-fizz IMHO. Now if it was a gel I'd a left it!
