Use Soap?

At our faculty meeting there was discussion about the swine flu and certain concerns were expressed-- including one woman who brought up the fact that to procure soap from the dispenser, you must touch the metal pump with the palm of your hand . . . and that this could be a vector of H1N1 transmission: despite this possibility, I'm going to follow Tom Hanks' odd and on-the-nose advice to Tawny Kitaen in Bachelor Party . . . he tells her: "Have a fun shower-- use soap!"

John Fischel thought that was the funniest line in the history of cinema. I tend to disagree.

i was definitely thinking fo that when i wrote the sentence, but didn't feel like explaining THAT allusion to the general readers.

Yeah, there are way better Fish stories than that. The pre-written check for $4 every time he went to the Delly, let 'em score so you can get the ball back, Ted Nugent's cookies, "Solidarity?", "Jose?", Fischel Man's Blues, etc.

Now that I am a fellow blogger, with two followers, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say you had to open up a new tab to make sure you were spelling "Kitaen" correctly.

you are correct, sir blogger. it's the little details like that that help you to avoid ridicule.
