So, it just sort dawned on me this afternoon, I was carving some fruit with the same 943 I used to scrape out some toe nail cheese earlier in the day.

Got me to thinking, what exactly did I do to clean the tip of that blade after the medical procedure was finished. I think...I probably... ran it under the spigot for half a second and dried it with 2 quick wipes across my pant leg.

Which got me to thinking...how many days have I been wearing these pants? How many times have I wiped my hand on these pant legs? What have my hands been into lately? Would the California State Health Dept. likely include my pants on their potential carcinogen list?

But I diverge--the real issue is how I could smell that toe cheese junk when I was scraping it off the edges of my big toenails. Yep, pretty nasty stuff when you can smell a tiny spec of it from 18" away. Purdy gross recollection to think I ate a little of that with my cantaloupe this morning.

Which got me to thinking...how many times have I done such gross things WITHOUT the recollection? Has there been MORE GROSS things?

All this thinking led me to a point of satisfaction and caused me to grin widely.

I am a gross man, and I am quite proud of it.

Which led me to write and brag about it here.

So come on, think, ever had or currently having a purdy gross recollection like this???

Every day

But you said right up front that you had 'guy sterilized'* the blade so I don't see the problem.


*'Guy Sterilized' == 'wiped on pant leg'


Look at it this way: our immune systems are in much better shape than those wussies who actually follow all of those health guidelines.

Aren't "cheese and fruit" considered a delicacy?
I think opening up pustular boils and then making mayonaise sandwiches after cleaning the knife on soiled underwear pretty much out does that.

According to my life-long research, running the blade under the spigot was unnecessary. Wiping a knife blade on pant legs alone provides adequate sanitation.

...Eh, unless you use the knife to open a box of rat poison or something.

I'm with you guys.

Wiping a blade on pants leg or a sock is good enough most of the time. For that extra clean, I might spit on the blade first, then wipe it off on my pants.

Now, maybe I'm a sissy on this one, but if I'm cooking steaks on the grill and need to check on one, I'll just cut into it with my knife. That blade then gets rinsed under the spiggot before going back in the pocket.

I'm not sure about that one. But there it is: I said it.

In the old westerns guys use to heat the knife over an open fire until it is red hot, then dig into living flesh to remove the bullet, not before sterilizing it with a few splashes of whiskey.
I don't know what kind of sterilizations concerns they had but the guy bieng treated was always up the next day slugging it out in the local saloon.
It worked for them.
What that did to heat treatment of the knives, that's another concern all together.

Good line here , big time lol when I read that. Funny post to knives for shoes. That toe jam is hazardous stuff.

I got this friend with a bad case of psoriasis, in the evening he'd sit on the dinner table, after dinner, take a kitchen knife and scrape the psoriasis scales off his arms and elbows, he would just get off on doing it, it was like there was no greater pleasure, the stuff left on the table he called "cornflakes", go figure.
I am trying to think of a BM I could recommend that would be good for the job.

When the socks are moist from sweat, that helps sanitize the blade even more...
