Tired of seeing kids' grubby feet in the same grocery store carts that carry her delectables, Dorothy Rietzel, a crazy old bat from Bellingham has crafted a bill that would ban children from sitting or standing in the main section of shopping carts. The bill, which cites Dorothy's "sanitary concerns" is currently before a legislative committee at the State House.
At first I thought this was a joke. How are kids riding in shopping carts deemed LESS sanitary than a grocery store employee or customer with unwashed hands who handles produce? What if a customer sneezes by the salad bar? I'd like to direct Dorothy Downer to the Shaw's in Boston where I once spotted a full-grown, well-groomed man by the tomatoes who appeared to be scratching the interior of his anus with his index finger. What about him? Since Dorothy is clearly more threatened by child-filth than adult-filth, would she prefer children run amok and spread their germs around like confetti? If kids are corralled in shopping carts, at least their child-filth is confined to a small area. Bottom line: Germs are everywhere, there are no guarantees. Note to Dorothy: Wash your produce, get a life, and most important - pick on someone your own size.

Thank you for the kind words.
You have me to thank for the hand sanitizers that are used in most public places. Maybe they prevented you from getting the flu.
Most of the kids walking in the bottom of the shopping carts were as tall or taller than I am.
Wow. The fact that your vanity Google brought you here and compelled you to comment 8 years after the fact speaks volumes. I stand by my original post that you need to lighten up, lady. And if you're truly the driving force behind the prevalence of Purell, I salute you. But I mostly think you need to get over yourself.
