  1. Okay, then let us in on the use of prophylactic antibiotics and super antibiotics she’s taking after that stunt. Perhaps slathered in triple antibiotic ointment like a Channel swimmer? Perhaps liver function tests about 2-6 weeks out?

  2. The lady Parisian mayor was in seine for swimming in the Seine. When I was in the Philippines 50 years ago when I was in the Navy one time a drunk sailor accidentally fell into Shit River, the drainage canal between the Subic Bay Navy Station and Olongapo City. After they fished him out of Shit River, he was given every kind of antibiotic imaginable and shots galore to stave off any potential infectious diseases from falling into that cesspool. I still can’t believe that Filipino kids swam (hey joe, throw me peso) in all that pollution while waiting for drunken idiot sailors to throw pesos in that mess and laugh at them as they dived for the pesos. It was disgusting.

  3. Geoff the Aardvark: I was aboard USS Midway for 2 years in a helicopter detachment, and the first time I was walking back to base after an all niter drinking Red Horse I was crossing Shit River and looked down in the water and a kid came up with a diving mask on and spit a fountain of water out of his mouth. I almost threw up on the bridge !
