Life's little mysteries

I've always wondered (and been a bit freaked out by it):


Why do white hand towels get dirty if they are used AFTER the hands are washed?


Doesn't that sort of gross you out when you think about it? I mean, that of course means, that the hands are still relatively dirty and that makes me think of all the people in the public sector who are required to wash their hands before coming back to work.

If their hand towels were white, would they be dirty too?

ewwwwww, yuck.
