Don't Forget Behind Your Ears Too

Updated April 27, 2004

There are certain things the have always perplexed me about general hygiene. I shower every day, and since my wife is who she is, I dry myself with a clean bath towel every day. But my question is this:



In the morning you step out of the shower and you are clean. You grab a clean towel. You dry your clean body with a clean towel. You put your wet, but otherwise clean towel on the towel rack to dry. The next morning you repeat the same process. How often do you need to launder that towel? Do you ever need to launder that towel? How is that towel getting dirty?

Who dries their clean body with a clean towel, and then considers that towel to be filthy when they are finished? What kind of a lousy cleaning job do these people do to themselves in the shower?



And now this brings me to another of my more perplexing subjects... and I’ll handle this as delicately as possible. You step out of the shower, and you are completely clean. Then you dry yourself with a clean towel. Next you put on clean underwear, clean pants, a clean shirt and clean socks. Finally you step out into the world under several layers of clean clothing. As you are out and about your otherwise clean hands are touching every filthy surface on the planet.

You’re holding the railing on the way to the subway. You’re handling money at your favorite coffee shop. You read the newspaper left on the train by an unknown stranger. You’re grabbing door knobs; scuffing things off of your shoe; picking goobers out of your eyes; picking your ears and nose. Then at some point in your day you, (men), put your disgusting hand on the handle of the men’s room door and step inside.

Now I’m trying to be delicate here. You take your germ covered; dragged across the filthy underbelly of the world; couldn’t even take into the kitchen of a McDonalds; hand and reach through two layers of clean clothing to grab the one thing on your body that has remained shower-clean all day. And when you are done taking care of your business what is the first thing you do? You run to the sink like suddenly you have contaminated your hand with a level one virus.



Is it me, or is this whole thing backwards. I’m not obsessive compulsive, but come on... really. Let’s think about this for a moment. Shouldn’t you at least rinse off that hand before you reached into the clean ward? (I was originally going to say "sterile area" but that’s different).

I’m not a doctor, (at least not a licensed doctor), but... I don’t know. Well I guess until I hear back I’ll keep just washing when I’m done. But I kinda think it’s like closing the barn door after the horse got out.

Feel free to sound-off on this one.
