Varying degrees of disgusting-ness

Posted by Streetdaddy™ on September 14th, 2007 filed in Life

I hope I never get this thirstyAh friday! The day when my work inbox experiences a noticeable increase in non-work-related email. One of today’s non-work-related emails contained the funny picture shown here on the left, and it got me thinking:

Of the two following displays of vulgarity, which presents the greater threat to one’s personal health? Our thirsty little chimp friend innocently whetting his whistle? Or the the time honoured tradition of the ‘Shoey’ (regularily practised by my good mate The Regulator), which involves drinking beer out of someone elses sweaty shoe?

I’m pretty sure the chimp has the upper-hand. What do you think? I have asked a medical practitioner to ponder on this question and post his answer here, so stay tuned…

My vote’s with shoey. I reckon the alcohol must be strong by that stage. I bet the chimp has given him ideas for his next party trick tho!

Drinking urine in moderation is considered to have health benefits in some cultures. Drinking alcohol in moderation is much the same. So it is a line ball choice, though I know which I would prefer!

Well, a very interesting question indeed Streetdaddy. Urine is actually sterile (unless you have a nasty case of a urinary tract infection – and im guessing this primate keeps it clean) so as for drinking it – no worries! Drinking from ya mates shoes – Regulator sytle – is no doubt worse!

Thanks to the doctors for their professional opinions!

Regulator, the ball is in your court. Will you raise the stakes and drink urine from a shoe? Skoal, skoal, skoal!

Give me a tankerload of vodka and i’ll drink anything from anyones shoe. In fact give me an all day bender, and by the end of the evening I will drink my own piss from Streetdaddy’s shoe.

[...] do I start? I mean, I’ve already set the bar so high with thought provoking subjects like shoeys and scat-lovin’ chimpanzees, where do you go from there? Upcoming plans perhaps? DJ and I have finally gotten around to booking [...]
