You are getting out of your car.  You drop your LAST M&M on the pavement.   You really wanted to eat it.


What do you do?

I know what my boots have been stepping in, so when I am in mid-M&M pick up the images cross my head of digging out poo with a stick, scraping gum and s@#$ off that is unhuman, so I know that others must face the same realities too.

Perhaps my imagination is overactive?  Actually, truth be told if it landed in the grass I would consider it fair game too.

No, what you are saying is 100% correct.


Still, chicks say no, most guys say yes.   Sorry.

Providing it doesn't land in some toxic waste, anti freeze or something similar, I would eat it.

Which all of us walk in daily and go home only to track all of it in on our wonderfully clean floors.  

Personally, I would rather take a chance that the road/pavement the M&M fell on didn't land on a piece that had been puked or defacated on.  I think the odds are better.

I worked at a textbook store when I was in college.  Mid-semester, they decided to re-arrange the shelving units.  When we moved one, amongst the dust bunnys and chewing gum wrappers, was five or six skittles.  So, I picked them up and ate them.
It didn't take long for me to remember that the exterminator came about once a month to be sure there were no bugs eating the books.  My entire mouth went numb for about a day.  I don't know how long they had been there, or what kind of chemicals they were coated with, but it was worth it to see the look on their faces.

As long as it doesn't land in anything.

I bet there's less germs on the ground next to my car in a random parking lot than on the door handle of the mens room inside the building.

+1 on the five second rule.

When I was down in Austin, after a night of late-night boozing we stopped to get some Pizza before making the walk back to the hotel...friend of mine dropped his sausage pizza slice onto the sidewalk, top down.

Picked it up and ate it.

The pizza guy was so impressed he gave him another slice, just for the show

Course, the other 5 or 6 of us were like WTF DUDE THATS GROOHHMYGODHEJUSTATEIT....I draw the line when pizza goes splat

Yes, tequila was involved.

PRISON Bad word.
Update---sentencing postponed until next Monday.  We are hoping for a better outcome. We are looking for a new attorney (9millie is), I am in Virginia.  He had a court appointed one.  The "Expert" witness backed out at the last minute.  Please keep positive thoughts for him and 9millie.
He's a good kid and I am proud of him.  A little shocked by this episode though.
By the way, I am his father.  Or as his mother says, the sperm donor.

however, if this was in a clean parking lot, I would probably go for it...
