This idea came to me in the mall today. I was hungry and went to the food court to grab a bite. I ordered a delicious chili cheese dog from Orange Julius, and my appetite couldn't be more ravenous as I carried it to my table to scarf it down. Alas! I forgot to grab a fork! As I turned to grab one from
the
basket on the counter, however, I decided to simply use my hands and risk the mess.
Why, you may ask, did I do this? Because when I turned around I saw a snot-nosed little kid sneeze into his hands and then reach into the same basket of forks that I was *about* to go for. All those forks are jumbled together, touching and spreading any disease and illness that they may come in contact with.
Then I saw the straw dispenser, which prevents someone from touching anything except that which they are taking, and I thought, why not simply larger one for forks, spoons, and knives? This would allow me to take a fork, secure in the knowlege that there is no way my fork could have been contaminated by a snot-nosed kid.

(+) Even though a sterile fork for a fast food meal seems like lipstick on a pig. |

Yes, but at least I know the guy who made my clili cheese dog didn't sneeze on it. I watched him make it with fresh ingredients right out of the bag (except the chili, but it was cooking in a pot which was in full view of the public and therefore safe from malicious tampering). |

I'm still breathing public air, aren't I? I eat my steak and burgers medium-rare. I still shake hands with strangers. Does that not satisfy my body's germ requirements? You don't have to ingest germs for your body to develop resistance to them. |
