I'll bet that there was a skungy germ laden sponge within touching distance
from the washer's hands. Something that had an exponential development of
scores of very nasty germs. Some people are so fastidious about their
sinks, yet have some offcolored, odiferous slimy sponge right there in front
of God and everyone.

The person who chided the hand washer showed horrible taste in treating a
guest like that in my book, and her violation was far more serious than the
handwasher's.

Aren't sinks made to wash things? Or to just be a place for skanky bacteria
infected sponges?
