Advertisement for a Taxi Company
Recently I had to go to St. Louis for a meeting. Instead of flying, as I have been doing for the past four years, I decided to take an overnight Pullman. It happened to be raining when I left. No matter the train was exactly on time, and what’s more, I didn’t get drenched (湿透) before boarding.
By the time I reached my roomette(小包房), my suitcase was there waiting for me, I hung my suit in the locker and changed into a pair of slacks (便裤). Then I Settled back in that big, comfortable seat and managed to get more than I am able to accomplish in my own office in half a day.
I couldn’t have slept better.

I saw a television advertisement recently for a new product called an air sanitizer. A woman stood in her kitchen, spraying the empty space in front of her as though using Mace against an imaginary assailant. She appeared very determined. Where others are satisfied with antibacterial-laced sponges, dish soaps, hand sanitizers and telephone wipes, here was a woman who sought to sterilize the air itself.
As a casual student of microbiology, I find it hard to escape the absurdity here. This woman is, like any human being, home to hundreds of trillions of bacteria. Bacteria make up a solid third, by weight, of the contents of her intestines. If you were to sneak into her bathroom while she was showering—and based on my general impression of this woman from the advertisement, I don’t recommend this—and secret away a teaspoon of the water at her feet, you would find some 820 billion bacteria.
