Encounter with the microbiologist

A TRUE LIFE STORY

I was buying food at our school cafeteria when one of my plantain pieces fell on their counter, considering my pocket condition and how hungry I was I had no other choice than to pick it up. A girl standing right beside me who had been noticing gently tapped me and the following dialogue ensued between us;

GIRL; do you know we have over a million bacteria on that shelf

ME; really? WOW (pauses for a moment)……………………what department are you?

GIRL; (smiles) microbiology

ME; no wonder, I’m in mass communication and your principle doesn’t apply to my field. I’ll just have to poo it out later.

GIRL;  (laughs) it doesn’t matter, it’s very wrong

ME; eeya maybe next time, but definitely not today cos this plantain is going down my throat.

GIRL; (shakes her head) okay, suite your stomach.

                ME went ahead to eat the plantain and I enjoyed every strand of fiber, drop of oil, and heat of fire that went into making the DODO.
