Just me, though.

But I start the very first day, I say, OK, so if you read a book by someone that talks about evil, they're going to list these people as being evil.

And so you have, you know, Attila the Hun and you have Hitler and you have all of these people as evil.

And I said, this is not what we're talking about.

We're not talking about the bad things that human beings do.

We're going to talk about dirt.

We're going to talk about something that we generally avoid and generally think is kind of dangerous.

One of the things I used to do is on the very first day of class, I would put a potato chip on the floor of the classroom.

And then I would have everyone do a five second count to make sure the five second rule was like totally done and over.

I'd pause dramatic effect and then I would eat the chip.

And invariably, everybody just went, you had this collective gasp, right?

And it's like, so...

Now, what do you think is going to happen?

And people are like, you're going to get sick.

That's dirty.

That's like, you should be ashamed.

And some people would inevitably just walk out of the classroom like, I'm this lunatic.

I'm not staying around for all of this.

But it sort of makes a point.

It's like we have this notion of clean and dirty.
