Bathroom Humor
This article on the Discovery website had this to say about a recent study on hand-washing in bathrooms:
"One-third of men didn't bother to wash after using the bathroom, compared with 12 percent of women, said the researchers, who spied on people in public restrooms. They reported their latest findings Monday at a meeting of infectious disease scientists."
Did the reporter even read what he just wrote? I don't really think the whole hand washing issue is our biggest problem. I can only assume that Larry Craig headed up the "research team."

and it's been going on for a long time...my now-wife/then-gf was employed with a temp agency to do exactly this spying at a jr. high for a week one summer in the early 1980s. It was the worst job ever, as you can imagine.
I've always thought that perhaps they were really studying her. Would she actually do this job? Would she bail after particularly heinous "incidents?" Would she fill in bogus data and go to lunch early every day? How much money would you have to pay for someone to really do the job? What will the average human tolerate?
However--remember the true value of this research the next time you go to the restroom at a football game and there are plenty of toilets and sinks, because intrepid researchers have carefully measured the behavior of a random sample of people in the W.C. Oh, who am I kidding? You'll probably not be able wash your hands because 1/2 the line is peeing in the sink.
