    Greeting a Brit ?? Forgoe the handshake, lets just nod

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19834975

    Fecal bacteria is present on 26% of hands in the UK, 14% of bank notes and 10% of credit cards, according to new research carried out by hygiene experts from Queen Mary, University of London

        While numbers are bad.. I am just not worried.
        I hope you guys have never worked in any retail. You touch tons of things that could have something on it.

        Just clean under your fingernails before you cook. Thats how they catch alot of people for outbreaks.

          Do not even get me started and people's jewelry and watches if you want nasty.
          If you want to know what someone will smell like when on fire just put a torch to their jewelry without cleaning it.
          You should see my ultrasonic cleaner at the end of the day.
          You would not believe the number of people that will lick their finger and ring before taking it off and then wanting to hand it to you. I use tweezers to pick them up.

            I knew the Brits are keen on wiping their ass but I didn't know they haven't heard of toilet paper.

              oh thats pretty bad apache.. never thought of it. I hope that the person who has to lick their finger to get a ring off is looking to resize it

              Though you should see some cars that come in to be trade in or cleaned. Even the techs can get skeeved out.

                Is it actual fecal matter or just the bacteria that feed on it. Because if this statistic and the 100 others are true, our notes/cc's/hands would have 3 feet of filth on them to account for all 1000% totalled of weird stuff :P

                  Apologies to my Brit friends, as this study was conducted in the UK and as such is completely skewed in its content. Clearly you can say the numbers are similar for any part of the world, and much worse in India where they use their left index finger to actually WIPE (look it up, I'm serious).

                  I've been to Canada, and I must say I've never been to any place cleaner ... no trash on the sides of the roads. Its a joy to know that at least somewhere someone cares enough to clean up after themselves. Now as far as fecal matter goes ....

                        Evidently they wipe with bank notes and credit cards.

                        Two guys are walking down the road when one says he really has to use the bathroom but they are in the middle of nowhere and there are none. His friend says to just go in the woods.

                        "But what will I wipe with?"

                        "You're in the forest. Use some leaves."

                        "No way. What if I accidentally use poison ivy?"

                        "Do you have a dollar? Use that."

                        "Great idea!" says the other man and disappears into the trees. He comes back a few minutes later with his fingers covered with fecal matter.

                        "My God! What happened to wiping with a dollar?" asks his friend.

                        "Have YOU ever tried wiping with 3 quarters, 2 dimes and a nickel?!"

                            A bear is taking a crap in the woods.

                            He looks over and sees a rabbit taking a crap.

                            Bear "Does shit stick to your fur?"
                            Rabbit "No"

                            Bear then picks up the rabbit and wipes his ass.
