In an effort to promote healthy practices for its employees, the state has been posting signs in the restrooms reminding people to wash their hands after using the toilet. Then at the bottom of the sign they state that there are 400 times more germs on your desk top than on the toilet seat.

This got me to thinking. Since I eat my lunch at my desk, maybe I should be eating it in the bathroom instead. But more to the point, if my desk is that dirty, maybe I should be washing my hands before I use the toilet.

I think that instead of encouraging us to wash our hands after using the toilet, they should be encouraging us to clean our desks.
