"Employees must wash hands..."

[markw]

Keep this in mind when you see that sign in your friendly neighborhood restaurant.

I guess they need to add "with soap and water" to those signs

Hate to say it, but I have actually heard of that before. SOOOOO GROSS.

At one of my customer's I took a pic of this posted on the wall very recently:

It isn't a joke either...

Urine is sterile ... but still ...

I wonder what that guy does after he drops a deuce.

Urine is sterile ... but still ...

Sterile up to a certain point:

Urine is sterile until it reaches the urethra where the epithelial cells lining the urethra are colonized by facultatively anaerobic Gram negative rods and cocci.[3] Subsequent to elimination from the body, urine can acquire strong odors due to bacterial action,[citation needed] and in particular the release of asphyxiating ammonia from the breakdown of urea. In medieval times clothes were stored in a garderobe (literally 'to guard ones robes') close to the toilet shaft because this ammonia would kill the fleas.[4] The term garderobe became a euphemism for toilet for that reason.

Some diseases alter the quantity and consistency of the urine, such as sugar as a consequence of diabetes. Beeturia, which affects some 10–14% of the population, results in the excretion of betanin after eating beets (such as beetroot) resulting urine with a pink/reddish color.[5] Beeturia can appear and disappear in individuals.[6]

I might also add that sterile or not, if the person has MERSA in their urine then being sterile means nothing.

I never touch anything in a public restroom. Always open the door with a paper towel or use your feet if you have too.

I hope your sinks have motion sensors.

I see guys pushing the wheel chair button so that they don't have to touch the door. Seemed like a good idea to me until I saw a guy walk out of a stall, breeze past the sinks, and hit that button on his way out of a restroom.

use your teeth if you have too.

lol ...

I use Jedi mind powers. Comes in handy for stuff like that.

Well, only if he is very healthy.
