Actually I am somewhat of a bacteria/germ freek. I have a bad habit of leaving my whistle in my car, and while for basketball its not a problem as its too cold for bacteria and the like to massivly reproduce, during football season its something I worry about due to the hot Oklahoma weather. That's what I keep the mouthwash bottle for.Plus the minty taste is quite refreshing.

As for calling me anal, you wouldn't be the first and I won't take offense if you or anyone does. And just to ease any worries that I'm "all-anal", I'm only like this with bacteria/germs. I work in health care to make a living. The importance of avioding all these is always being stressed. If you saw my bedroom, you would think twice about calling me anal.

And finally, concerning the "gunk", that's what the run through the dishwasher is for. Get's any bleach residue and "gunk" out. Also part of my anal issue, is I refuse to eat before I use me whistle without brushing my teeth. I guess it goes back to the dentist thing.
