My Bathroom Theory (No. 1): Washing Your Hands
Washing your hands after using the bathroom. I've been thinking about this quite a lot lately. This joke (with several variations) comes to mind but it goes something like:
There's a kid that just gets done peeing and starts to walk out of the bathroom. A guy says, "Hey kid, didn't your mom teach you to wash your hands after you pee?" The kid then replies, "No, she taught me not to pee on my hands."
I mean, how necessary is it that I wash my hands after taking a pee? I don't pee on my hands. How many germs are residing on my recently washed penis? I wake up every morning, take a thorough shower, put on my freshly washed underwear, and start my day. Then, throughout the day my hands touch a thousand different things, but my package only touches the inside of my clean boxers. So in essence, my peepee is a lot more clean than my hands... And the bathroom is probably more clean than my cubicle. Today, I read about this study by the University of Arizona that an average workstation contains about 21,000 germs per square inch but the average toilet seat has about 50. So uh, maybe I should wash my hands before I go to the bathroom as opposed to after.
Plus, I've grown up in a small town in Illinois and now live in Iowa (along with most of my friends). So if you're in a similar boat, you've probably peed on many many trees, in fields, on buildings, in streets, etc. Do we freak out about not washing our hands? You just zip up and walk away like a man for just pissing outside, haha. You all have done it. Man, half the girls I know have even done it.
No point really. Just a thought and something to ponder.
