But being born in the USSR I grew up instead with a fear that Americans were going to nuke us.

Wisk invented it--it was never a thing. And yet, however many years later, I still remember the name of the detergent that resolved that non-problem.

The lack of venomous snake wounds accounts for collar ring not being a problem anymore.

Like, running to save people from dying of poison, then holding them down to operate, is a lot of work and would certainly make a normal businessperson perspire, thereby staining the collar of their shirt. Maybe this problem was a lot more common in the 60s and 70s, and advancements in venomous snake management are having the unintended effect of making our shirts cleaner.

Only luck got my hand to something solid before i was fully submerged.

I dont think it'd have been as hard to escape as quick sand supposedly is.

All i got.

Not once have i witnessed ring around the collar. More elusive than quick sand (or.. mud) in my experience.

Sadly, my partner was raised with no mechanism for skepticism, and buys into it completely.

I had to get rid of a few of my button-downs because the insides of the collars were looking pretty nasty and even bleach wasn't getting them clean.

Organic bodies are kinda nasty sometimes.

My family definitely has some old white collared shirts with discoloration that doesn't come out in the wash. I'm just too much of a dirtbag to throw them away or worry about it.
