  1. Need an excuse to stay home from school, kiddies? DRINK UP.

  3. Want to get “dirty in the shower, baby”? Easy. Turn on the tap.
  4. OCD sufferers not ostracized for a week because EVERYONE is dabbing at themselves with bottled water.
  5. Add a slice of lemon — and it could pass for iced tea. White Spot credited with this discovery.

    So sorry. I hope it’s not expected to last much longer.

    It’s pretty grim, Rich, but we’re surviving. I can send you a bottle of it if you like?

    how long is this expected to last? sounds like this might be the perfect time for a roadtrip to less, er, turbid climates.
