How is this possible?

Granted, you expect to see almost anything when you come to Las Vegas. But I saw something yesterday is one of the most disturbing (and certainly one of the most unsanitary) things I have ever witnessed in now 57 years on this planet.

I went into a men's room at the Palace Station Casino. The three stalls were being used. So I waited. Presently, a young guy (he looked early 20s) exited a stall with an apple in one hand and a banana in the other. He walked past the wash basins and back in the casino.

Fortunately, I had already eaten breakfast. Otherwise, I might have put off my feed for a very long time.

I found myself wondering what made this fellow to think such behavior is acceptable. Skip the bit about not washing hands for a second. Yes, it's appalling but we do see that all the time. But who in their right mind brings fruit into a public men's room?

I hope this was an "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" moment.

A day later, I am still grossed out thinking about it.
