I realize that this may seem gross to many of you, but as a grown male I think it is my right to wash my hands when I feel like it. Obviously when "sitting" in the bathroom I take the relevant precautions, but as a rule I find that, in public restrooms, the cleanest thing is my penis. Damp towels, hand dryers that never work, and those cloth things on the loop—filthy. And I wear chinos a lot, so drying my hands on them is pretty much out of the question. And the soap. It has the hygiene equivalent of watered-down gin. I refuse to submit to this liberal conspiracy that tells us what to do in our most private moments. I don't work in food preparation, or in a hospital, so what's the problem? And as far as spreading disease is concerned? A lot of people in this country need to build up an immune system. Hell, when I was a kid we were detonating atomic bombs in Nevada. And that never did anyone any harm, did it?—Anonymous
