One day a young chap from Texas moved to California and he went to a store where everything was available under one roof, in search of a job. On his arrival, he met the boss of the store who enquired about his sales experience. The young chap said “Sure Sir, I worked as a salesman in Texas”. The boss is very pleased with his reply and offers him a job. “You can start your work from tomorrow, I will come and see you in the evening”, said the boss to the young chap.

The first day of his job was a bit rough but anyhow he managed to go through it. In the evening when the store was locked the boss came down to him to ask how things went. He asked the chap “How was your first day young man, you must have done extremely well isn’t it?” Hesitatingly the young chap replied “Only one sales sir”. The boss got surprised and said, “Only one? But our sales people perform on an average at least 20 or 30 sales a day. How come you had only one, OK, what was the score?”

“101,237.64 dollars Sir” replied the young chap. “What, 101,237.64 dollars, what the hell are you saying?” asked the boss. The young chap said, “Sir, first I sold only a small fish hook, later a medium fish hook and then a large size fish hook to the person. After that I sold him a new fishing rod and asked him where he was going for fishing. He said he was going down the coast. Then I told him he would require a boat and so I took him to the boat department where I sold him a dual engine Chris Craft. After that he said that his Honda Civic would not pull this engine and so I took him to the automotive department and sold him the 4×4 Blazer”.

“Amazing”, said the boss, “A guy comes here to purchase a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a truck as well, that’s amazing?”
“No, no sir, he came here to purchase a box of tampons for his wife and so I said to him that he would perhaps need to go for fishing”, responded the young chap.

I guess I must have led a very secluded and an ignorant life. What makes me say that? Well, for the simple reason that I had never heard of an idiom “the five second rule” until I had spent almost 25 years on the planet earth (excluding the first 3 years). I must thank the mastermind of mars residents (now on planet earth) to enlighten me with this new idiom. My boyfriend used this phrase as a reason to consume some foodstuff that he had just dropped on the floor. (Oh yes, he is still my boyfriend)
I humbly assumed that my boyfriend was the only one to use this excuse until one of my male colleagues used it too. Apparently the Five second rule is that the germs are so polite that whenever they encounter foodstuff they wait for five seconds before they jump on to them.(do they take the first five seconds to ask permission?) Many people (read most of the male species) believe in this theory and use it extensively.
So it seems if you pick up the food really fast, you won’t be harmed by the germs. Well I have not studied about the nature of germs so I couldn’t obviously argue with my boyfriend.
I searched on the net about it with least expectations to find any links. I was stunned to know that the myth is so wide spread that some scientists (couldn’t they find anything better to do?) actually scrutinized and concluded that the rule isn’t valid. (Well what can you expect?)
So the next time the male species use this phrase as an excuse, you know what to do. ?

The second man replied “A carnation?
“No, no, the other one”, said the first man.
“Emm.., is it the poppy?” asked his friend.
“No, no, no” growled the first man. “You know the one that is red in color and has plenty of thorns.”
The second man replied “Oh, that one, you mean a rose right?”
“Yes, yes! That’s the one, Thank you!” the first man said. Then he turned towards the kitchen and yelled loudly “Rose, what is the name of that new restaurant we had been to last night?”
