I’m under a boil advisory. When I said this to “someone” (not saying who) the reply was, “like… a butt boil?”
This is the second time this month that I’ve been advised to boil all water “vigorously” for at least five minutes prior to drinking or using for food preparation. Each advisory lasts a minimum of 3 days. Have you ever boiled water for 5 loooong minutes? And washed the pan afterward? And tried to pour it into a jug once it cools?
How about this one …did you find the process hard to remember in light of the fact that water coming from your tap is normally deemed safe? My oatmeal went in the trash because I forgot that my tap water is unsafe for consumption. My beloved coffee pot is filled with water from a jug of purified H2O that I purchased…along with bottled water.
I love the Dr. Seuss quote above, but for those of you playing along at home — this ISN’T what he had in mind.
