Do You Want to Kiss Everyone in the Room?

I'd rather watch the ads than the SuperBowl. Paul and I discussed having a SuperBowl party this year, but after reading this from the New York Times about the germs you'll get from people double-dipping their chips (or carrot sticks) in the dip, well, we may as well be talking about throwing an orgy. Read this excerpt:

Professor Dawson said that Timmy (from Seinfeld) was essentially correct. “The way I would put it is, before you have some dip at a party, look around and ask yourself, would I be willing to kiss everyone here? Because you don’t know who might be double dipping, and those who do are sharing their saliva with you.”

Hat tip to Al Dente.

They'll be no such party at our house! (Translation: I found an excuse not to have to clean up and cook.)

Whether or not I want to kiss all the people in the room actually depends on how much I've had to drink. You'd expect me to say 'it depends who's in the room...’ but no, it's just a matter of volume consumed.

I usually get my 'party snacks eating' done very early, before others start, because it's not just the double dipping that concerns me. It's the degenerating rest room hygiene followed by another handful of peanuts as the party wears on that really worries me.
