YES, WE'RE LOOKING AT *YOU*

Your woollen gloves carry twice as many germs as the toilet seat

(Thanks to Asher Scheiner, who says "Maybe scientists should stop doing studies.")

Scientists might want to test my snow shovel handle later today. I usually wear my 30-year-old unwashed suede gloves while shoveling.

I’m just glad that the toilet seat standard for comparisons is more consistent than the asteroid standard, via giraffes and what not.

What about acrylic gloves?

@Kwerty, you mean you didn't wear the recommended silk glove liners to keep the insides of your suede gloves clean?
Yeah, right - that is definitely NOT something I would do when it's 100 degrees and I need to do yard work.

Does woolen have 2 L’s?

We in Wisconsin *sniff* have no idea *sniff* how germs would get on our *sniff* soft wooly absorbent *sniff* mittens.

Note to Bill Shaw: There is no such word as "woolen" or "woollen." The correct term in This Blog is "wooly" as in "Wooly Bully."

Alternatively, you could skip the gloves when you use the toilet.

Note to Jeff Meyerson: Ewwwwwwww.

If the gloves made of wool, it's must have been knit.

On the plus side it doesn't shrink in the dryer, but how can a toilet seat keep your hands warm?

@Florida Man: You set it on fire, of course.

*snork* @Jackie Chiles

[Florida Man]

@wanderer2575 But that's gonna P-O the snake.

I don't care. The toilet seat won't keep my hands warm. And I need that right now. The Canadians are exacting their revenge for the annexation idea by sending 16-degree weather to Texas.

[Chilly Willy]

It's c-c-c-cold!

[Clankie]

What...? Doesn't everyone wash their woolen gloves in the toilet ?
