When I was a kid, one of my friends dropped some food, picked it up, dusted it off and said, "You have to eat your peck of dirt before you die." For yeaers after, I believed that there was some counter "up there" somewhere that tallied all of the dirt that you ate, so I became quite careful about any dirt on food.
