Do you wash after pissing?

[frequent]

But in any case, even if it is harmless, I don't want to taste it.

As I’ve also remarked elsewhere it’s a question of aesthetics not health (I guess I could have used “taste” rather than “aesthetics” )

Frankly, I believe that dipping one's digits under a few drips of H2O is nothing but pure habit, having nothing whatsoever to do with even a skerrick of personal hygiene.

There's a story - I've no idea as to whether it's true - that Winston Churchill once exited the House of Commons loos without washing his hands. A fellow MP is supposed to have said "Winston! At Eton we were taught to always wash our hands after pissing" - to which Churchill supposedly replied "And at Harrow we were taught never to piss on our hands".

Maybe so, but the thought of shaking hands with someone who has just taken a piss and not washed their hands is not very appealing

Then don't think about it.

Even if they did wash their hands, don't start thinking about how many germs they picked up grabbing the door handle to exit the toilet

The increase in asthma in Western countries is supposed to have been caused by overly fastidious parents trying to make sure their child never comes into contact with "dirt" (known as the "hygiene hypothesis")

My old Pennsylvania German grand mother used to tell the kids that "you'll eat a peck of dirt before you die - get used to it."

Speaking of Germans, I learned recently of Bavaria's latest claim to ignominy - not only mad kings but mad presidents as well. The Donald's paternal grandparents were born there.

We don't talk about that.

Trump is, of course, well known to be a germophobe. Presumably he wears a pair of rubber gloves while pissing?
