The five-second rule

          When I was little, we had a thing in our house that if you dropped a piece of food on the floor and it was in the floor for less than 5 seconds than you could pick it back up and eat it. Well, most people had that so called rule in their house at the time. But it doesn't work like you think it does, see, there are germs all over the floor, it's not like they move out of the way when a piece of food starts to fall. The second the food hits the ground, it is covered in germs. You can't see the germs, but you can see what was on your kitchen floor moments before.
