Handling handles ...


These days I am constantly reminded about precautions in connection with H1N1 and other vira: 'Wash your hands frequently', 'Use your arm, not your hand, when you sneeze', 'Stay at home if you get ill' and 'Use a paper towel when you touch a door handle'.

I always do the first three things on that list. But how is the fourth one possible? To get from the teachers' room to one of my classes I need to open 6 doors. I wonder how many paper towels I'd need for just one day at work? I know it makes sense to be careful, but still....
However, when I got to the central train station I had second thoughts about touching the particular door handle in the picture below - and it wasn't H1N1 I was thinking about!
