BAHAHAHAHAHAH! *wipes nonexistant "penis-germs" all over this thread*
Honestly -- germs are good for us. Without them, our immune system would never develop beyond infantile stages, and we'd end up in a bubble to protect us from the horrible horrible cold bacteria. I'd rather have a virus in small doses (a little from the bathroom door here, a little from this public access terminal keyboard there) that doesn't make me ill than that same virus in a concentrated fuckton that makes me vomit up my innards. Speaking of which, that's HOW immunizations work..
Aside from hangover-induced illness, I've never had a "sick day" at work that actually reflected me being sick. Likewise, I had perfect attendance in high school? Why? Becuase I was unsanitary without having bad hygeine, and I got a healthy (minor) dose of viruses. When I did get "sick," it was only a cough or two instead of a head-smashing blood-spitting hackfest..
