Ban that "rule"!

By PeeFlavouredFloss - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - Canada - Montreal

Today, I had to explain to my husband that the 5-second rule doesn't apply if you drop the floss into the toilet. FML

Yeah, you're definitely right. As a microbiology student, I can tell you that aquatic bacteria are generally more badass than those that thrive on hard surfaces. Ground bacteria usually abide by the 5 second rule because they respect the law, but aquatic species are outlaws. They don't give a ****. I actually saw "**** the police" tattooed on an aquatic bacterium's head one time. You don't mess with them.

It would explain the yellow stains on his teeth.

I can't believe you had to explain anything. I thought it was a given that anything dropped in the toilet is flushed unless it will clog pipes or cause damage to a septic tank.

I imagine your husband drops more things in the toilet then you'd care to know OP...

I guess it's a lost cause to find out what happened before

And you kiss that mouth on a fairly regular basis.

It does however apply, if you're at a hospital xP
