British lawmakers nit-picking

quote:
Tue Jul 5, 8:57 PM ET

LONDON (AFP) - Shared combs and brushes have been banned from Britain's lower House of Commons in a bid to thwart headlice, a newspaper said.

The Sun reported that communal hairbrushes and combs were being axed under health and safety regulations.

The sweeping new rules were also intended to halt the threat of blood-borne diseases like
AIDS being spread.

Combs and brushes have been provided in the washrooms for centuries so lawmakers can smarten up before meeting visitors or entering the chamber.

The move has left some members itching with fury.

"Health and safety have run riot. It's lunacy," raged main opposition Conservative lawmaker Anthony Steen.

Speaker Michael Martin soothed fears the days of well-coiffed members were over.

"MPs can bring in their own combs," he said.

Nick Harvey from the smaller opposition Liberal Democrats also brushed off the complaints.

"There have been no reported cases of communicable diseases or infestations relating to the use of communal combs and hairbrushes in members' washrooms over the last 10 years.

"The risk of anything being spread was low - but it did exist.

"Nothing would ever have tempted me to use these objects," he added.

Awesome.

What a coincidence. All this just after a Labour MP tells the press he's been HIV positive for the last 14 years. What's his name?

Actually, most of them shave their heads to keep from getting lice.

I think a sly limey said it best when he said that a bald, limey, head is just a solar panel for his juicy middle leg!

So, does that mean since aminal doesn't shave his head, it's because he wants to keep his lice?

I hear limey lice like to crawl into their ear canals and eat their way to the brain. It'd certainly explain a great deal.

Amen.

Interesting, ours run on their own. I will say that the piece of sly Limey wisdom, coupled with the infamous lack of sun in the UK, explains much.

Hey, ol' pal! I think they've got medicine t'help dry up them runny canker sores and lesions so they won't be so juicy.

Amen.

They're worried about getting AIDS from combs? And these people make laws?

Apparently so. They don't want the stigma.

Based on what appears to be their low standards in personal hygiene, they should probably be more worried about the smegma.
