It was. Didn’t they go jet-skiing?
Jerry rented a little two man boat and they took that out for a spin.

It was weird seeing Jerry in swim shorts. Or shorts period.

Unless I’m the first one to use it I’m not using any hand towel at a party. I’ll go out and grab a paper towel

instead of a hand towel, and replacing it in 2 hours in like a maid, you should get a stack of those fancy-grade paper hand towels. so people can use them and toss them. and you don't have to replace hand towels in your bathroom after 2 hours like a maid.

Is essentially in a public restroom if it’sa party. Half of the people using it are probably dudes who dribbled piss on their hand’s and didn’t wash but wiped their hands on it. Others are people who probably took a shit and rinsed their hands but didn’t use soap. So yeah you’re right it isn’t like the handkerchief. It’s worse

My office is one of 6 subdivided in a larger space. I'm positive the hand towel in the communal bathroom has only been changed once since I took up the rental.

I keep my own towel in my own office for this purpose.

Fucking gross. The worst thing is one of the other tenants actually does the cleaning for the whole place. No idea if they have some sort of side deal trade off with the landlord (who also uses one of the offices there).

I can't be bothered complaining, I tend to just keep things clean myself. And keep my own towel in my office.

At least they acknowledge they’re nuggets and don’t call them “boneless wings.”

Who the fuck dribbles piss on their hands? :lol: I’ve pissed on my hands exactly zero times in almost half a century. The shitting and soapless rinsing is a legit concern, tho.

I like to consider myself a thoughtful and gracious host, but I have never switched up the hand towel 2 hours in.
