This is NOT an anti-Jamba Juice post. In fact I drink a Jamba Juice after every workout. But I need to share this experience, if only to find out if I should be concerned.
Well, should I?
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

33. Aw Mo,
Thanks for another fun post.
I think Samuel Taylor Coleridge addressed this once in "Kubla Khan:
That with a workout strong and long
Mo had to show his muscles care,
Thus Mo has asked for our Advice:
Charging us with his own welfare,
Now all should cry, Beware! Beware!
Her mucous mist had filled the air
Traversing from her hand to ice--
Will reassured with holy dread
And on the Jamba Juice Mo Fed
Drinking once, but never twice.

34. Only with the Roccats would I eschew PPD's! Everyone else is a potential carrier!! You should have asked for a side of hand sanitizer, Mo!

35. Mo,
Being a former Jamba employee, I'm wondering what kind of ice scoop they are using. Most Jamba's should have an ice scoop that has a very long handle with a two sided scoop, which should prevent what happenend in your situation to happen. If they were using the right kind of scoop it should have been very unecissary for her to put her hand in the ice. Plus it's just icky to KNOW that there is mucous on your hand and then stick your hand in an ice bin that contains ice that will soon be in other peoples smoothies.

36. 29. Clif, I must say that I'm enjoying this side of you! Such a refreshing break from your "Don't f**k with me!" D.D. posts. ;)

there's no room for funny over there. dd's idea of humor is to break wind in the iron maiden.

My dearest Mo,
On further scientific investigation, I have concluded that you should be afraid of what was in the mist...
VERY afraid-

38. I think you might have to ask Seinfeld- isn't he an expert in such hygene matters?

Dammity, Mr. Rocca...
For a dude who knows SO MUCH about every geographical location/animal, etc... You are either having a tug on us, or you are incredibly SIMPLE. Or merely obtuse???
I HOPE for the former, but in this case, I'm betting the latter. Shame on you.
The human sneeze carries approximately 40 feet - & it's *random* - the spray goes everywhere.
It would have been nice if your juice maiden sneezed into her *elbow* (as advised by medical personnel), but it really would make no difference if she sneezed @ or away from your whacked out pseudo juice thingie.
You were doomed either way.
The flip-side is that she probably (look, Sue... I ate the whole word!) had no infection of any sort (given that she works in a "healthy" place)... It was a reactionary sneeze, perhaps allergic, or merely reflexive...
Given that.. Her boogers were no more potentially disastrous to you than yours would be to HER, had you sneezed on the $$$ you handed her prior to the transaction.
Money isn't just "dirty" - it's literally the filthiest thing on the planet.
I think you can safely get over it.
Me Hearts You,
Sherry
