Socks

On the little sporting goods store around the corner I saw a sign advertising "Diabetic socks." 
At first I thought they might be low-sugar socks, but then I looked it up, and apparently diabetics sometimes need special socks that help blood flow and foot sores and things. See how quickly something very funny can become sort of boring and weird? 

Soap

Maybe some of my doctorly friends and readers can help me with this. What is the point of non-antibacterial soap?  The way I see it, the bacteria are those big bad germs, and protecting ourselves against that is the reason we wash our hands. If we are not antibacterializing, are we just going for clean-looking hands?  Or are there non-bacterial things we also want to get off our hands?  Grease, dirt?  But if they don't have bacteria, do we care? 
Someone let me in on the secret.

Brief Sensuality

Brief sensuality is apparently what got Oceans 13 a PG-13 rating.  I'm about to watch now to see if I can spot this fleeting sensual moment. Who can imagine what it will be? I wonder what rating prolonged sensuality would incur?
