Stop Licking Your Fingers!

So I take it you have no problem with getting a stranger's saliva (and maybe even blood or semen, depending on if they have a sore in their mouth or what they have been doing recently) on your hands?

You're telling me when you eat some doritos and get cheesey fingers...you dont lick them?

EWWW!!! That's what Wet Wipes were made for! Although that's probably why I don't eat Dorritos or Cheesie Poofs.

Although I have to confess that when I do lick my fingers for anything practical, like to put a hair back into place or remove a smudge off the tip of my shoe, I used to have a saying of "Never lick the same finger twice!"

No, I dont.

But even if I did, I wouldn't share the bag with others and I would wash my hands before handling something anyone else had to handle.

No, BACTERIA is needed to keep you gut healthy, not GERMS, and the sort of bacteria that people have been touching all day isn't the right type... try YAKULT- it has benifital bacteria.

eww no way, that's just gross, I either wipe them on a paper towel or I go wash my hands!! I have seen people do that in front of me and it makes me want to vomit!!

I am reminded of the old saying, "It's not what the fly takes that bothers me. It's what he leaves behind."

Everything you touch everyday is "dirty" when you look at it under the microscope. You do what you can, i.e. wash your hands, and go on with life.

And just a suggestion pertaining to strippers. Always remember, a $2 bill, folded correctly, looks like a twenty.
