I remember seeing a TV show on this a while back. Germs are spread primarily by another person touching you. In social/business situations, this is done by handshaking.
Apparently, in Kindergartens and pre-schools they have the kids nowadays wash their hands about 5 times a day. Bush is being smart -- and healthy -- by using that sanitizer stuff. I myself hate the feel of it and prefer to wash my hands but for someone who shakes sometimes hundreds of hands a day, Bush is being wise for using it. On the day that he did it with Obama present, who knows how many hands he must have shaked? It was not like he was only eating waffles or something... --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, enlightened_dawn11 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "shempmcgurk" > <shempmcgurk@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, enlightened_dawn11 > > > <no_reply@> wrote: > > > <snip> > > > > i found the story of how bush treated obama at their first > > > > meeting, bush publicly taking a big dollop of hand sanitizer > > > > from an aide after shaking obama's hand, sickening and > > > > revolting. > > > > > > Oopsie, you didn't get quite all the story: > > > > > > "Obama!"
