A little bit of dirt is good for ya.

I only wipe it if there is something I can see or feel on the top.

i remember one time i was parked behind a safeway. and when i was finished with my shopping i saw them unloading there products. there was some soda cans in the corner. so i go in my car and start it up. I see this dog come up to the soda cans and sniff it. So i stay there awhile to see what happens... and well the dog pees on the cans...moves over to the next batch and takes a dump on them...lol

it's just something I always do. I probably got it from my parents. whenever they eat at chinese restaurants they always wipe the utensils, cups and plates before eating. just out of habit I guess.

Never do it, I don't live my life in fear. If I am meant to die then I will die, besides what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger.

Eh I don't get disgusted by stuff too easily. I took a trip to the morgue the other day just for fun. (Yes I have issues... we all do.) And the sick thing... after living for 18 years in a 3 world country your body develops some serious powers.

Never even think about it. :dunno:
In Greece, everybody's paranoid about it ('cause of the urban legend of people dying because a rat pissed on it in the warehouse)...so if you buy a can, they give you a straw and look at you like :eh: if you don't use it. They're like "WTF are you doing!! Use a straw!" (but in Greek)

I used to be QA/QC Environmental testing for Wyeth Pharmaceutcials. You will not believe what you will find on things.

Actually there was a test on shopping cart handles. Scientists found: feces, sperm, urine, and other nice things on the shopping cart handles.

The best thing to carry to kill germs and other stuff (viruses and bacteria) is Clorox bleach BUt it will eat away at aluminum.
