Fight Germs, Use Healthy Hands/random thought
This is the slogan emblazoned on the splash guards in the urinals in my company's bathroom. I've been mildly disturbed by it ever since the guards were first installed a few weeks ago.
What does it mean to "Use Healthy Hands"? Is this some bastardized foreign translation of "wash your hands"? Should we wear gloves in the restroom or something? I'm all for fighting germs, but I need better instructions.

I think I may be more disturbed by the idea of a urinal "splash guard." Shoud I assume that this is the same object I've always thought of as the cake holder?
And furthermore, wonder if there's some kind of sociological study on those who look up vs. down at public urinals (as opposed to those that I've recently had installed in my kitchen).

But I can't remember the last time I saw one with a cake holder.
