How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces.

Ronald Reagan is regarded as the humorous American president of all time. He was naturally a funny guy. He would crack a joke even in a serious situation. For example, after being shot in the chest and nearly assassinated, he said to his wife Nancy, “Honey, I forgot to duck.” While being wheeled into the operating room, Reagan still had time to fire off a joke to his doctors: “I hope you’re all Republicans.”
Reagan was also known to return speeches to his speechwriters with jokes added in. His sense of humor was ever-present and he could call on it in almost any situation. At one press conference:
Reporter Sam Donaldson: "Mr. President, in talking about the continuing recession tonight, you have blamed mistakes in the past. You have blamed the Congress. Does any of the blame belong to you?"
Reagan: "Yes, because for many years I was a Democrat!"
Queen Elizabeth was also a victim of Reagan's ribbing! Reagan was a horseback riding with her in 1982, according to former Secretary of State James Baker, when the Queen’s horse let out a loud fart. The Queen apologized to Reagan, who shot back, “I’m glad you told me, or I would have thought it was the horse.”
