Who's dirtier, men or women?

If you'll pardon the pun -- food for thought!

Women's offices tend to be dirtier than men's for the following reasons. First, they tend to use hand lotion more often, which gets on surfaces and traps germs. Then, they tend to be around children more often then men, and we all know how easily kids transmit germs. And finally they use makeup, which tends to absorb germs. Then it rubs off the face or gets scattered by brushes and sponges...

Women's purses can pick up a lot of germs. Gerba's study found fecal bacteria in one-third of the handbags tested...

Food in desk drawers also harbors lots of microorganisms, and it is more abundant among female office workers... 75% of women had munchies in their desks...

"I was really surprised how much food there was in a woman's desk," he said. "If there's ever a famine, that's the first place I'll look for food."

The average office desktop has 400 times more bacteria than the average office toilet seat...

My very first job was working in a stock room at a retail store. Being the new guy, one of my duties was to clean the bathrooms at the end of the night.

The womans bathroom in the store was almost ALWAYS messier than the mens bathroom.
