Rugby mates a bit too matey

Rugby players risk infectious skin condition by swapping bacteria on shared razors and towels 

In England, an investigation into how 4 men at a rugby club got a serious skin infection resulted in this:
 Almost 20 per cent of players said that they regularly share towels,
while 10 per cent said they share razors and five per cent swap clothes.
Really?  Razor and smelly towel sharing?  Sport needs to be banned, I say, as a public health measure.

The game certainly needs to be modified. The latest findings on brain damage from sports like Rugby League raise huge concerns so it is not surprising increasing numbers of parents are steering their children away from contact sports. Except parents like MK50 who think it is manly to punch other blokes in the head during contact sports.

You need to have your middle temporal gyri checked, especially the left one. Methinks there are too many catecholamines lurking above the neck. Clozapine for you and keep in mind that class of drugs shrinks the neocortex which in your case would be a very good thing because yours is useless, especially the DLPFCs.
