Your health teacher was right
Apparently it's true: failing to wash your hands after going to the bathroom can be hazardous to your health.
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A bloody brawl erupted outside a tavern after one customer thought another failed to wash his hands after using the bathroom, according to police.
One man was hospitalized with stab wounds. Another was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to a police report, the fight broke out Thursday after Eric Jennings Kisiah, 27, became upset about a customer's apparent hygiene failure at the Tumbleweeds Sports Bar.
Witnesses told police Kisiah confronted the customer and two of his friends, calling them names, telling them they were dirty and threatening to "slash their throats."
Kisiah then hid near a shrub outside the bar and charged the group as they left, the police report said.
One of the men ... was stabbed four times, police said.
They don't fool around in Texas. Remember the Seinfeld episode when Jerry's in the men's room at a restaurant and sees the chef leave the stall without pausing to wash?
The urban comic can do nothing more than cringe -- along with the viewers -- in full-blown urban angst.
Seems like folks in the Lone Star State are a little better than their Noo Yawk cousins at reminding strangers that cleanliness is next to godliness.
Big time.

There is more to the story than you know. Please remove this information. It is hurting his family. Think about how you would feel.

If your [junk] isn't dirty, then there's no need to wash your hands after touching it. I'd sooner wash hands after every handshake than after touching my [junk].
A friendly peck on the cheek is more hazardous to your health than whatever may be on your schlong.

Sounds like puritanical bullshit to me.
LT, your pungent phraseology was a bit much, even for me. Dial it back a bit, will you? My mother reads this. -- Mike
