    Bacteria are far more abundant at people's desks than office restrooms, and it's the work areas of the fairer sex that harbor the most germs.

    Women have three to four times the number of bacteria in, on and around their desks, phones, computers, keyboards, drawers and personal items as men do, according to a new study from University of Arizona germ guru Charles Gerba, professor of soil, water and environmental sciences.

    "I thought for sure men would be germier," Gerba said. "But women have more interactions with small children and keep food in their desks. The other problem is makeup."

    EWWWW.

    It's probably because some women (actually, a surprising percentage) don't wash their hands after going to the washroom. Even when they go doody. So next time you see a hot girl walking around, know that she may have fecal fingers.

    And here I thought 'girl germs' were just imaginary. It's probably waaay too late for the antidote now, isn't it? :D

    What, you mean you never got the shot when you were a kid? I must have been inoculated 1000+ times in elementary school by friends who were clearly worried for my wellbeing as an adult.

    Having started exposing myself to theee most serious of girl cooties at the age of 12, over these many years I have built-up quite an immunity. :lol:

    Thankfully none of my contracted girl cooties were the types needed to be treated with medication. ;)

    I learned early on to stay away from dirty girls. :unsure:

    Some people pay extra for that. That's a joke, btw, but be that as it may, I'm kind of worried about you.

    That reminds me of one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television in my life on how to get an advantage in business.

    :blink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: <OMG! > I've gotta clean the tea off of the monitor. <_<

    Yeppers, just think about that next time you shake someones hand, did they wipe it through the sweaty crack or worse? :rolleyes:

    I really hate it when the person sneezes into their hand then tries to shake yours..

    Another thing that grosses me out is driving down the road, and pulling up to a hot babe and shes digging for gold in the nostril caves.... :blink:

    There is no way that I am ever going to attend any sort of PriusChat "meet-up." Ever.

    (By the way, notice that I wear gloves because of people like you.)

    Don't be worried about me, worry about Priusguy04 who's seen the nice person penny video and seems to be a man that can be easily persuaded! Priusguy04, hopefully they remove the penny from our monetary circuit before you can do any damage. :rolleyes: :)

    Yeah, that was from a great show called Upright Citizens Brigade. And with the new dollar coin, you will have plenty of loose change to fear. nice person DOLLARS! I'm taking about a secret weapon, a long term strategy...

    Before today, I would have not given a 2nd thought to this photo in today's paper. Now, it scares the hell out of me.
