Gotta get through the cooties to get the goodies

Eww! GIRL COOTIES!

[cherry]

let me see now...cooking, peeling,cutting up meat,changing diapers, wiping runny noses, cleaning the toilet....no, I can’t imagine where all these germs come from...

The researchers took samples from the palms of 51 college students—that's 102 hands—and tested the samples using a new, highly detailed system for detecting bacteria DNA

I didn't know my ex went back to school.

Other possible reasons...women are more likely to hold onto the hand of a snotty kid...and women are more likely to hold onto the handrails of stairs and escalators.

School teachers are germ sacks with sensible shoes .

intresting. But it cant be possible. It goes against our male ideaology !. Women are cleaner. they never have gas and their poop doesnt stink !

[camerakid400]

This is what I use. And yes I am a hypochondriac.

[biff]

Uhhhhh, you married? Ahhhh, didn’t think so.

Have you noticed the number of guys who walk out of public toilets without washing their hands? At Fenway it’s at least 80%. I avoid shaking hands whenever possible.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

yes I am actully. lol. for over a year now. you learn.

[Dysart]

Possibly.

Or maybe women are heavier users of antibacterial soaps, which have given rise to super resistant-or prolific-strains of bacteria.

[mad_as_he$$]

They come from not washing!

[Dysart]

That’s a pet peeve of mine. Often the time I’ve had to restrain the inclination to grab them by the ear and lead them back to the sink as they slither out the door after taking care of business. And ppl look at ME funny when I refuse to touch the bathroom door handle!

[toothfairy86]

Then again, they were measuring college students. Who knows what those women were touching.

Or, most women are just filthy sluts.

Just a Theory! Please don’t hurt me with your filthy hands! :)
