The War on Stinkin' Terra

If you've traveled through any airport in the last few years, one of the things that probably irks you, as it does me, is having to remove your shoes at security. I'm not sure why it bugs me so much, I have rather lovely feet, but it does bother me, I'm just very uncomfortable removing my shoes and having some fetish monkey ogle my footwear. Well, now there's even more reasons to be troubled by this:

"If there are individuals walking barefoot or with socks, they will transmit to another person walking over the same spot," lower leg disease expert Dr. Daniel Lee said.

The lab identified a mold from McCarron Airport in Las Vegas as trichophyston, which causes ringworm and favus, a nasty disease of the scalp.

"The other organism I saw was Neisseria. It is of the species and genus that can lead to gonorrhea," Lee said.

Try explaining to your beau that you got clap by simply removing your shoes at the airport. Guaranteed you'll be looking for your testicles in the shag carpet if you tell her that.

That's pretty much it, I have nothing more to add. I really only wanted to post this so every time you go to the airport and remove your shoes you'll be disgusted and think of me. You're welcome.

Every time you remove your shoes, a terrorist smiles
