[...] In 2013, researchers at Michigan State University carried out a thankless, if mildly creepy, study. They observed how more than 3,500 residents of their college town used the sink at various restrooms after they carried out their business.

Some 10 percent of people observed chose not to wash their hands at all, which is simply not an acceptable way to end a trip to the bathroom. But even the vast majority of people who tried to wash their hands managed to totally flub the proper routine. Almost a quarter of people washed their hands without soap, for instance. And only 5 percent washed their hands for at least 15 seconds or longer, which is actually lower than the 20-second minimum of handwashing recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    It is probably a choice made by my employer. But I can assure that boner pills are in fact mostly paid for by insurance. The out of pocket cost is somewhat higher than other drugs, but not terrible. (Ironically, narcotic pain killers $5 / 30. Something seems wrong here?)

    I had heard about an outcry that boner pills are paid by insurance but birth control is not. And THAT is very wrong. That probably fits with some people's religious views. Pay for men's boner pills, but don't allow abortions, and don't pay for birth control. Women should stay at home and pop out babies. Because we so desperatly need more. /s

    A more sensible abortion law would be to allow abortions until the fetus is 18 AND can pass the SAT.
