Here's a poll...

If you were making a ham and cheese sandwich and you only had one piece of cheese left, and that piece happen to fall on the floor, what would you do?

That's what happened to me a little while ago. I won't even TELL you what I did, so I'm asking you guys WWPTD??

[Medusa]

I'd rinse it off and kiss it up to God (remember that as kids?) and eat the flippin' sandwich.

AMEN Mary!!!! Cat hair is a condiment in my house. Boy did it hit the spot! I had sweet pickles with it! YUMMY!!

Well...considering the amount of dog hair in this house (and we do clean, I swear!), I would feed it to the dogs and make myself a ham sandwich.

Well now if I got to the piece of cheese first then I would wash it off & eat it.. Now if one or so of my babies got to it first then it would be theirs..

[Casper]

I would pick the cheese right back up and eat it on my sandwich.. after I ditched the ham, that is.

It reminds me of a time when a good friend was over for lunch about a year ago. He found a cat hair in his food and asked what he should do... I told him to pick the hair out and just keep eating. Luckily he was a good sport and did exactly as I suggested. :-D

We PTalkers are no sissies are we! I'd pick it up, dust it off and eat it. I do keep my kitchen floor clean!

[Alysser]

It would have to depend on what floor it was off of. School cafeteria floor= hell no. My own kitchen floor= Let's not waste some good cheese!

[Pam]

I would never have to make a decision like that as it would be scoffed up probably before it hit the ground! LOL! My dogs stand right next to me whenever I make food just waiting for something like that to occur!

[Freedom]

I would apply "the 10 second rule," also from when we were kids. Which means, as Pam said, I would not be the one getting to the cheese first.

Yup - that's the way it works here too! And if by some remote chance they weren't right there and I could retrieve it - I sure as heck would rinse it off and proceed...........

[moosmom]

Well, well, well, now I don't feel so bad!! Thank God for the 10 second rule.

[chocolatepuppy]

Same as a few others said, the dogs would have it before I got a chance.

[Scooter's Mom]

We always used the 5 second rule. Now I know it's really 10 seconds! Ahha!
I have 5 more seconds to get to it.

Agreed. I think the "five second rule" becomes null and void when one has six dogs.

And, the whole thing is moot point in my house anyway. I assure you, a dropped piece of cheese would never have the chance to hit the floor around here. It would be headed toward Miss Vanilla's belly about three feet off the ground.
