Vince Grant:(seeing the BSB corporal gearing up in full Hazmat suit) "Isn't that a little....extreme?" BSB Corporal: "Depends. We find that most people regard a 'sexual aftermath area sanitization' job to require much more than a simple bleach wipedown. Most people want a THOROUGH job done beyond just the surface cleaning. They want something more akin to an exorcism. So we gear up to assure them we're doing a SERIOUS cleaning job." VG: "So you're doing a placebo exorcism on my chair?" BSBC: "I happen to have a extra religious training, and both papal and rabbinical permission to perform exorcism and banishment rites, just in case. Plus I identified bits of Belinski in the mess; I dunno if that's related to your original problem, but it's an indicator that there's something worse about the situation, so best to be prepared."
