Anything to keep people from having fun. Soon everyone will be sitting in white rooms, on sterile plastic furniture with shaved heads and government issued clothing. That'll be fun!

The fact the gubment spent $63.5K to decide sand could give you a stomach ache and possibly the runs is more hazardous to my health than either of those two problems. Hell with as much mexican food as I eat all the time I have the runs most of the time anyway. :rolleyes

[Dr. Boogie]

They have a point. You should limit your kids to playing in outdoor areas where birds won't crap, like... I don't know, airports?

[ZeldaQueen]

You mean I was being put in danger every time my parents took us to Lake Erie? I should sue for child abuse! >:


“The beach . . . is not a sterile environment,” he said.

Duh?

[Dr. Boogie]

Sunlight isn't the best disinfectant. What else haven't they told us!?

[Colonel Flagg]

Obviously he's never been to New Jersey. Aside from the garbage, hypodermics and assorted medical waste washing ashore, it's just fine. >:

[Dr. Boogie]

Apart from the New Jersians themselves.

oh man this is terrible news, now i can't go around spitting sand at everyone on the beach anymore >: THAT WAS MY FAVORITE THING TO DO

[Pipes McGee]

Guys, guys.. it's only harmful if swallowed, from what I reckon. So long as you don't actually ingest the sand, I don't think you'll have problems with the maybe stomach aches and the possibility of the burning anal geysers.

[Zhukov]

When you spit sand, Pipes, you have to put it in your mouth, there is a very real risk of swallowing it if you put it in your mouth. Keep your comments to yourself if you aren't going to be helpful.

You can still kick sand in the faces of beach-going nerds, just make sure you wear either hiking boots or waders.

[Geggy]

I hate it when sand gets into my sandwich.

[Tadao]

[ZeldaQueen]

If it is, I hate to think how he eats.
