I'm wondering if she used the toilet water from the tank of the toilet or the potty bowl for her samples. Big difference...

After living in Germany for four years, I learned to drink without ice. It's not so bad until summertime.

Reminds me of the Houston TV personality Marvin Zindler:

"Slime in the icebox."

And those who wash their hands thoroughly still have to grab that door handle to exit the restroom.

Or simply use a paper towel to grab the handle. Wouldn't be a problem if all the selfish trash would wash their hands, too.

I wonder how careful she was with her sampling techniques?

E-Coli. It's always present. We'd never had a positive sample before. Had to do extra tests. None came up positive.

I have worked in the food prep and service business.

Ice machines are notoriously unclean. D*mned roach magnets, among other things.

Remote controls in hotels are extremely high in bacteria counts.

You beat me to it. Think of where all those hands have been that touched the remote.

And do you think those high paid mexican workers who clean the rooms use a different rag to clean the toilet and the doorhandles, remote contol, clock radio.

That is why they "leave the light on for you" so you don't touch the light switch.

Oh yeah that's right. Forgot you sent me this picture. I still want to know why you went with the Pagoga look.

I wonder if she checked the 7-11 type ice dispensers that work by gravity and thus the ice is never touched.

Although come to think of it yesterday I had a coke from the 7-11 at Fairview ave and Rt. 1&9 in Jersey that reeked of clorox. Totally undrinkable but probably no bacteris.
