The Law of Medicine: if you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor - By the time you get there you'll feel better.

Need to wash!!

I've decided that hygiene is in the eye of the beholder. One
lunchtime as I watched the woman in the sandwich shop

work shirt was dragging across it.

"Excuse me," I ventured, "your sleeve is in the mayo."

"No problem," she reassured me. "I need to wash it anyway."
