Guys don't wash up, especially at games

This weekend at the Husky game, I made a mental note of all the guys who weren't washing their hands in the bathroom. After all, the bathrooms consist of these long urinals that can handle lots of guys all at once, but there are only three sinks. And who wants to stand in line for the sink when there's football to see? So in my unofficial count, only half of the guys washed up. Turns out, a study came out today that finds that one-third of men don't bother to wash their hands after visiting the bathroom. The worst offender in the four cities they studied (not Seattle) was Atlanta's Turner Field baseball stadium: only 57 percent of guys washed their hands, compared to 95 percent of women. Frankly, I can't say I'm surprised. But for the record, I did stand in line for the sink.

I think there are also studies that show that the soap dispenser, the faucet handles, and the paper towel dispenser are all crawling with germs. The less you touch, the less you catch.

Handwashing after peeing is for punks.
