Civil societies with running water dictate that after using the bathroom, a simple washing of the hands is in order. Fear strikes the hygienist working duty as a restroom attendant. A casual glance will show that not every one follows the simple rule of public courtesy.
Excuses may abound as to why this quick act is an afterthought for some and totally out of mind for many others. One such is that it presents an unnecessary use of water.

Dancing with each other under the spot light, two of the party find time away from it all the enjoy the moment. Holding each other close and with the fear of drifting apart, they savour the moment.
Hours earlier, in the heat of battle, the bloodshed is excruciating and the visuals intense. Even for the oldest of the clan, there is never an end to the upper limits of pain and joy.

Off the foot of a controversially awarded penalty in the dying seconds of the Australia V Italy match, the Socceroos bandwagon has found its tare now thousands lighter. Far from the heavy days following a win of their qualifying face off against Uruguay for entry into the World Cup.
Crestfallen by the freezing conditions of watching another football game large and live on big screens in the city, the froth was scoopable and the beer bottles airborne.

Second in command and charged with running one step behind the leader while two steps ahead of death. Dicing with mortality on a sweet marinated bed of charisma only goes so far. And even then, the call back to reality sets in like the sauce that lingers too long and congeals into one thick glob.
Pace masters look sideways into the horizon over their shoulder and realise that there is no difference between them and the next for the bullet's zero.

Pile driving into the water with a head long rush for the flush, pro-whaling nations were set to cow tip the scales in their favour. Looking set to sweep a larger loop hole for their whale meat scavenging expeditions, the chain broke on their drawstring pro-whaling majority at the latest meet up of the International Whaling Commission.
First to dunk under the blue rinse, beefing up the fishing hauls with the addition of dolphins and porpoises in the mix. Defeated by the majority against.

Two become three and the blasting caps capture the knees. A wiry frame beats the behemoth of lard. Limping is easier with two bodies less on legs. Hanging upside even easier.
Calm is nowhere in the back pocket, shredded as it is dangling from the clutches of an over hanging branch. A gnarling wolf takes a picture in case it won't remember the sheer of smell flooding the air. What leaves the end for a run is what leaves the start undone.

When Lamarckian evolution gave way to Mendelian inheritance and the great houses of science closed their doors on the fine finery of Paris and opened their hearts to the rubble of Stuttgart, a hospital matron with nervous shoulders and disease-flecked lips, in what was eventually determined to be a completely unrelated event, collapsed and died on the third floor of the left wing of the hospital to which she had given the last twenty-three years of her life.
Well, science was young and science was wild and neither it nor its untamed hair cared for nurses dying flimflam deaths in stone buildings that, by necessity alone, were heated by oil lamps and indiscretion. And it was because of this indifference that the grieving family of the deceased nurse was frozen out of the decision-making process as regarding the funeral. Funerary rights, like moonless nights, once brushed aside are lost forever, and no amount of beseeching or completing of forms will see them returned. Time does its thing.

Cries of the wolves are muffled through the legs found in their mouths. Watching from over the horizon, the pack gnarl their teeth and sniff out the air down there. The playing field has changed and a new entrant has taken to the game.
And then a crack.

Creating depowered mutants with nuclear power and uranium markets sparking a cockfight chug apace as the focus on the world and the environment continues to shadow a dark cloud.
"Temperatures rise to burn the scowls, forests fall before sprawling malls and the little critters are skitting away into oblivion as the fishes find no feasible fortress of safe harbour."

Dropping on the US like an otherwise dirty bomb seen over the hills of Hiroshima, Beaconsfield miners, Brant Webb and Todd Russell continue milking the cow that is their fortnight long ordeal.
Recently appearing with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, the pair recalled fresh memories of their previous interview with Tracy Grimshaw. Drumming up nothing in their back pockets for the talk on US television, the interview pays toward their business of squeezing the monkey brown before the cigarette ash hits the floor.

Public whips on a water drip makes the Howard Government do a back flip. Watching on from the eager sides, the lumbering clamour for hope. In that their beloved calls to keep Telstra private rides high with a bandage to secure Medibank Private as much to the public mulch as possible. Dance, monkey, dance.
The Federal Opposition are hoping their hopes are rising with the Commonwealth pulling the plug like the kinky usher from the sale of the Snowy Hydro. Leaving the other hands dry and without a towel to wring, the sudden back flip is, according to Labor, like a warm golden shower for the submissive on bended knees.
