   I have heard melodysheep's George Carlin remix with "save the bees" so many times:

   Today for the first time I came across the greater context it's taken from. It's good stuff.

      Should have toured Sweden where people get into arguments whether their town has the better water or not. 🤣

         @clacke Sweden's water sounds great.
         
         I have worked in 15 US states and I have never found a place where tap water tastes good. I always have to buy a filter or just buy bottled water.
         
         The worst places were in #Mississippi (Jackson, Starkville #MS), #Louisiana (Baton Rouge #LA) and #California (Irwindale #CA).
         
         In Irwindale, the water came out looking like diluted milk ... and stayed that way several minutes later. It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water.
         
         In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again. The same thing happened in #Baton_Rouge, but it was only one or two days and it only happened once.
