Shouldn't you turn off the water before you dry your hands? What a waste of natural resources.

I think we had this same poster in Mrs. McClung's first grade class in San Benito, TX. Back in nineteen and sixty-seven.

Turn it off the the towell. They dont want the grems on the handles to get back on your hands!

No, you turn off the water with the paper towel. If you turn it off with your hands after washing, you are just re-introducing the germs to your clean hands from the handle. All proper handwashing involves turning off the water the the paper towel. If you're that concerned about water conservation, get a towel, turn it off and then continue to dry.

Jack County is behind the times. Who needs to wash their hands when Paris Hilton has discovered the cure for swine flu?

I just heard on the radio that the sheriff from Montague county died of a heart attack this morning.

Turn the water off with paper towel to prevent you from coming in contact with another person's feces. Also use the paper towel to open the bathroom door as you leave. If there is no wastebasket by the door then throw the towel on the floor. Bottom line is don't touch a door handle that has been touched by the last person that opened the door with the same hand that he wiped his butt with. In microbiology class we collected dangerous E. Coli from bathroom handles and faucets and cultured it in the lab (100% had it on them). So for the past 30 years I have been throwing towels on floors as I left bathrooms. I have observed that many people leave the stalls in the bathrooms at Walmart without washing.

My kid forgot to wash his hands after visiting the restaurant's restroom last night. I sent him straight back in with instructions to "wash the swine flu off" before returning to the dinner table!

This IS Jack County we're talkin' about. The only place that can make WC look hip and progressive.

If you have not figured out the purpose of u-shaped entries into some public bathrooms, it is to eliminate doors and door handles that have pathogens on them.

Y'all can stop washing your hands. Obama has given the all-clear and stated that it looks like the swine flu will just run it's course like "an ordinary flu."

LOL, I think some of you had better go back and look at that pic.

How does the water turn on in the first place?

Now this is serious, I was told that at home, keep some cut lemons beside your sink and after you wash you hands, rub your hands with the lemons, the acid in the lemon rinds will kill the germs.

Well, considering where a man's hands are when he "goes", some idiots may need reminding to wash their hands.

Yuk.

10:02AM......if I do this, as you said..."If you're that concerned about water conservation, get a towel, turn it off and then continue to dry."

If I turn the water off with that same towel, (because I am concerned about wasting trees to make paper towels), before and while I continue to dry my hands with said same paper towel, aren't I infecting myself with the very same germs on the water faucet handles that I used said towel to turn the water off with before I started to dry my hands with in the first place?

I am so concerned for my elbows - they have come in very handy in dealing with nasty restrooms in the past, and I can't forget the undersides of my t-shirts that I typically use to open nasty bathroom doors with after I've done my business, then washed my hands according to instructions, prior to exiting said nasty restroom (depending on whether they are push or pull bathroom doors, I either use my elbows or t-shirt underside)...........save it folks, I just gave myself tired head.

So, in the end, I need to pay more attention to my elbows and t-shirt undersides - I never knew how important they were in protecting me from death. I'm gonna light a Jebus candle for each of them tonight.

Tomorrow, if I dare venture out for supplies, rest assured I will buy pretty much all the bleach that's in stock..................

Don't forget to add the part about grabbing the totally infected with piss and shit door handle on your way out...since a large percentage of people don't wash.

12:02 exactly right. Some places have a trash can by the door. The ones that don't, there is usually other paper towels thrown on the floor by other folks doing the same thing. Also, the public restrooms that has a door that opens to the outside, the toe of the boot can open it just fine. Never figured out why a restroom door opens to the inside anyway. Do like those doorless U-shaped entrances. Lowes comes to mind, but Wally's don't. Wally's does not have any paper towels most of the time anyway, and sometimes they are just sitting on the end. They could have been on the floor for all we know.

Do like the ragheads. Wipe with one hand and shake hands with the other.
