Hands So Low



Today, in the washroom at work, I noticed a posted bulletin entitled “How to Wash Your Hands”. It was quite competently printed on an 8 ½ X 11 sheet of paper and ran about 200 words. There were two copies of it… one on each side of the row of sinks. It detailed the hygienic reasons behind washing your hands and then provided a numbered list of the actual procedures that must be undertaken in order to properly cleanse your hands. Instructions like: “hold one hand under the soap dispenser and depress the pump” and “rinse thoroughly with hot water”.

I am a professional. I work in a place where most everybody is a university graduate. What kind of FUCKING MORONS does our company think that they’ve hired? What kind of soiled miscreants do they feel are staffing their teal coloured cubicles that they would have the AUDACITY to tell us how to clean ourselves? Am I the only sane person who questions this practice? I mean COME ON…. What’s next? “How to wipe your ass” ?

I hope they ALL get SARS and die.

It's All in the Name

As I struggled to wake up this morning, the news announcers told two stories:

1. The remains of Antoine de St-Exupéry have been located in the waters off Marseilles some 60 years after his plane disappeared. M. St-Exupéry wrote the well-known book "Le Petit Prince" - morals for a modern age disguised as a children's story.

2. Ten years ago today marked the beginning of the Rwandan genocide of the Tutsis at the hands of the Hutus. Canadian General Romeo Dallaire has ongoing nightmares about how he tried to alert the world to this massacre, but they wouldn't listen.

One tale in "Le Petit Prince" tells of how a great astronomer telling a group of Western scholars about a fantastic new discovery was not believed simply because he was not dressed like they were. Once he exchanged his Turkish garb for European clothing - everyone accepted his report.


If the names of the massacring and massacred peoples in Rwanda had not been so "foreign", would we have paid attention?
