Is it just the first line of the song or the whole thing?

elSicomoro 12-25-2008 11:54 PM

I'm thinking the whole thing, since you're supposed to wash your hands for at least 15-20 seconds.

Happy Birthday works as well. Germs hat that song, because they don't have names.

Aliantha 12-25-2008 11:54 PM

That's a lot of water

I wonder what the Sierra Club's stand is on this.

Wolf and I discussed this very photo on the old Bosque forum...I believe she told me that "Row Your Boat" is also suggested.

Handwashing is the number one way to prevent the spread of germs.

If we didn't do it, those of us that survived would need a lot more water for all that diarrhea we'd be having.

I rely on the telephone sanitisers from Golgafrinchia to keep me safe.

And my natural immune system.

And I wash my hands. But I do touch the door.

That, my friend, is some funny shit.

Speaking of funny shit, apparently our first floor bathroom at work is too complicated for the general public. I'll being going upstairs from now on. It is amazing the state people will leave it in, even when it was clean when then went in.

It all boils down to home training, bro. Some have it; some don't.

In fact, I did. And I was just about to post here about it.

Since I work in a hospital with direct patient contact, I'm even more fanatic about handwashing that flint.

I do the not touching doors on exit thing, and I've also been known to wash before getting down to business.

We've been complaining to the management about the spring loaded trash can ... luckily there is an open wastebasket just outside the bathroom door that is actually for the coffee area, but hey, trash is trash.

One of the advantages of working in the hospital, though, is that my immune system is sturdier than sturdy ... with respect to our native germs, anyway. I've been exposed to darn near everything. When I do get sick, it's usually because of exposure to my friend's kids. I don't have resistance to kid school germs.

If you succeed in preventing all preventable contact with germs, how in the hell is your body supposed to practice for the unpreventable contact with the real nasties? You're messing with your immune system.... Pee is sterile on exit....

(This from a toilet-hovering, foot-flushing, elbow-door-opening person ...but hell I risk it everywhere else in life.... it's not the germs I'm afraid of, it's the alien DNA)

I carry other people's pee from place to place with some regularity. To do so I do what I call "Michael Jackson Gloving." I put one glove on my left hand, because I need to use my right for the keys.

Pee is biologically sterile, but pee doesn't always only contain pee.

DucksNuts 12-27-2008 01:07 AM

Meh, my immune system keeps me safe.

I wash my hands a lot, but I dont worry about surfaces I touch, I even sit down to pee without protection!! Yes, I like to live dangerously.

What does annoy me is the silly deli-biatches that have gloves on and then proceed to take my money with the gloved hand.

Money is gross!! but not worse than handrails and second hand books
