A Bit Of Dirt Does 'Em Good Keeping your children healthy can be the key to missing fewer days at the office so be aware of where germs lurk. The University of Arizona in Tucson swabbed 800 surfaces to determine the most unhygienic areas. Here they are in order of dirtiness. 1) Public telephones 2) Public rest-room surfaces 3) Counter pens 4) Chair armrests 5) Elevator buttons 6) Escalator handrails 7) Shopping cart handrails 8) Grocery store refrigerator handles Really ? They were the nastiest places they think children put their hands ? They havn't had any of these moments then..... "Joseph, put the toilet block down, they are not sweets, NOOOOO, no don't lick your fingers." "What's this Uncle Mikey ?" "OMIGOD PUT IT DOWN STEPHEN IT'S A DEAD RAT." "No Joshua, if we're playing cowpat frisbees, you're supposed to pick up the crusty ones, DON'T COME NEAR ME WITH THOSE HANDS."
