*People who throw towels and/or scraps on the floor (i.e., slobs) are another topic for another day.



Proof that there is an exception to every rule.

After washing and drying my hands, I ALWAYS use the paper towel to open the door on the way out. I've seen too many people walk straight from the urinal or stall to the door. So I open the door and look for a nearby trash can. Sometimes there is one conveniently near the door. Other times it's several feet away, next to a sink. In the latter instances, I try to do my best Markus Howard shot into the trash...but alas, I am no Markus Howard.

So sometimes I'm one of those people who 'threw' a towel on the floor...but it is NOT because I am a slob.

I do the same -- use the towel to open the door, not a Markus Howard impression. Fortunately, more and more bathrooms are putting a trashcan near the door. In the increasingly rare cases where there isn't one, I usually usually wad it up and hold onto it until I see one (usually not long) or shove it in my pocket.

Seems like the Jaguars were just being sarcastic when they said they were hiring Urban Meyer.

I never realized they left teal.

I do that if there isn't a trash can within my shooting range. Unfortunately, sometimes I get a little too optimistic about my shot-making ability.

I would never just toss it on the floor on purpose if there isn't a trash can....

As long as you don't have a UTI, at least piss is sterile.

If drinking urine was your survivalist backup plan, we've got some bad news. The rumor that your pee is sterile is, well, a rumor. Scientists have found that urine in healthy individuals naturally contains bacteria, so urine isn't quite as "clean" as myths have led us to believe.Jan 8, 2021

This is a common misconception.  Urine is not sterile.

Shoulda used teal. I thought the context (responding to a post about pissing on hands) would have made that clear. My bad, I guess.

My son woke us up at 1am to tell us he had a pain in his leg.   This morning I'm explaining it was probably a cramp .. and former MU great Dom James used to go down in games, writhing in pain due to cramps.

Told him if it happens again to not wake us up, and instead go to the fridge and grab a jar of pickles and drink the juice.

Lol, one of the featured reviews was from Kenneth Noisewater. I wonder if he knows a James Westfall.

And in the latest installment of Stupid Criminals ...

In an angry and vulgar letter commemorating his 20 years in prison, Joel Cliett promised to kill his trial judge, the judge's family, his Gaston County prosecutor, the jury, and "everyone who lied on me."

"I've done 20 years for a crime that never happened, and you have my word that I am going to kill you," Cliett told retired Superior Court Judge Marcus Johnson of Charlotte in his letter.

"There's nothing you can do to me."

This week, federal prosecutors proved otherwise. They indicted Cliett on the charge of mailing threatening communications, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. His letter appears in the indictment filed this week by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Charlotte.

Cliett, 44, and a prisoner at Alexander Correctional Institution, already is serving just under a 50-year sentence, which includes his 2001 conviction in Gaston County for first-degree sexual offense.

According to court documents, Cliett volunteered to fix a window in a woman's trailer that had been broken out by her boyfriend during an argument. When Cliett began talking about becoming the woman's boyfriend himself, she asked him to leave.

Cliett came back that night, with a knife, according to court documents. That night, after the woman had fallen asleep on her couch, she awoke just after midnight to find Cliett on top of her. When she screamed for help, Cliett punched and molested her, threatening to rape her daughter when he finished raping her. The jury convicted him of first-degree sexual offense and communicating threats. Cliett was sentenced to between 24 to almost 30 years in prison.

While in prison, according to state records, Cliett has been found guilty of 110 infractions, including the 2011 shanking of a prison guard and multiple instances of threatening to injure staff. He is scheduled for release in 2049.

Now that may be pushed back.
