BFTP: Do I really look that stupid?

First, please don't answer that. It was rhetorical. But here's why I asked...

I've been on an anti-purchased water kick lately. Partly driven by latent environmentalism, but mostly caused by my refusal to be persuaded that I need to spend good money for water that I have been drinking freely from the tap with no ill effects all my life.

So I am waiting for the Pike's Peak Cog Railway to take up the mountain and I ask a young woman who works at the place if the water in the bathrooms is safe to drink. "Oh, sure," she replies. Then looks at me and thinks.

Adding, "So long as you get it out of the sink."

Which makes me wonder if I actually look like a person who might drink from a toilet. Sort of ruined my whole day.
