The Little Loogie


You can't say I didn't think about work while I was on vacation. While waiting to meet Tina (next post) near a busy subway exit, I saw someone hawk this rather nasty loogie on the ground.
My first three thoughts were: 1) Eww, nasty! 2) Now it is contaminated and we couldn't use it for any kind of testing. 3) Too bad we can't use it, it would have been a great specimen and would have made an excellent gram stain.
Rather curiously no one stepped on this for about 20 seconds, but then back to back people stepped in it and it was gone. But it's OK, I have this picture and it's story to retain in our memories.
