OT: 5 second food on the ground rule?

Kudos to CL82 and Bezzz - blow dryers leave significantly higher amounts on one's hands than paper towels.

And even if the blowers were cleaner or as clean as the paper towels, chances are good that if the exit door has to be pulled inward to open, one will often use one's hands on the handle and thereby re-infect.

While I'm at it, one should not buy liquid hand soap with anti-bacterial ingredients. These products are no more effective than regular soap at cleaning your hands, but they contribute to bacterial resistance.

Hand blow dryers spray your hands with fecal matter. Lovely. Paper towels are moderately more safe, but zh!t is everywhere in a public toilet. Hold it in, assuming your prostate likes you.

I like your post way more than my prostate likes me!

Reminds me of the time we were invited to Saturday night dinner at a (newish) neighbor's house. The hostess/chef ("Maria") was justifiably proud of her own inherited family recipe. We looked forward to enjoying what would prove to be a very nice meal.

After cocktails, appetizers and introductory chatter, "Maria" told us of the time they entertained (unnamed) but 'important', and toney, guests in a similar situation. On that night, after drinks and Hors d'Oeuvres, as her husband led the guests to the table, "Maria" went to the kitchen to place the pasta in the big, now boiling, pot near the long simmering sauce. Seeing sauce splashed on the stove at first it didn't seem unusual, but then she saw more sauce on the floor... and was puzzled... until she noticed the family's large dog nearby and looking sorta guilty. She then realized her pet also oddly resembling Rudolph the reindeer.

Alone in the kitchen, she made a decision...

Hah. Some of us can't reach the ground in 5 seconds so the rules are relaxed.

Heard a local radio guy say something similar.

"Didn't your mother teach to wash your hands after you use the bathroom?"
"No, she taught me not to pee on my hands."

Good joke. Gandhi helped perpetuate the myth.
