Our Side of Town
Here is what you'd find waiting for you, if you came to visit P&C
Just in case you may have forgotten something at home, we have you covered. There are all the basics along with delicious smelling lotion, perfume/cologne, bubble bath beads and a puzzle book.

I have been vindicated!
Ever since I can remember, family and friends have mocked me for my germ paranoia. I refuse to share drinks or food with anyone if their lips have touched it. Looks like I'm not the crazy one after all!
“Did You Just Double Dip That Chip?”
January 30th, 2008 · www.sogoodblog.com
Any Seinfeld fan probably remembers that line, when “Timmy” accused George Costanza of double dipping. “Timmy” complained, “that’s like putting your whole mouth right in the dip.” Now a new study conducted by Clemson University has measured just how much bacteria double dipping can actually transfer into the dip bowl. The answer - a lot.
According to the NY Times:
“A team of nine students instructed volunteers to take a bite of a wheat cracker and dip the cracker for three seconds into about a tablespoon of a test dip. They then repeated the process with new crackers, for a total of either three or six double dips per dip sample. The team then analyzed the remaining dip and counted the number of aerobic bacteria in it.”
Despite George’s dismissal of the idea that double dipping could transfer bacteria, the results of the study show otherwise:
“On average, the students found that three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from the eater’s mouth to the remaining dip. Each cracker picked up between one and two grams of dip. That means that sporadic double dipping in a cup of dip would transfer at least 50 to 100 bacteria from one mouth to another with every bite.”
Something to consider before you double dip that chip at this weekend’s Super Bowl party.

What's playing on Paul's ipod?
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
