However, you do want to have your hands under the water when you wash them.

Doesn't this rinse the soap off before the surfactants have a chance to do any good? I thought you lathered away from the water stream.

Who knew there were so many details to get right? Heh.

I like to sing the Lewis Carroll version of "Twinkle, Twinkle", and am trying to remember to shut off the faucet after rinsing with the paper towel. But now I have a procedural question. I habitually turn off the water after I get my hands wet, then turn it on again to rinse off the soap, since I don't want to waste water. Should I just leave it running? Will I waste less water than I think? What do I do about the guilt for leaving the water running?

I swear I read the whole thread first, by the way.

Gloating is unChristian.

I'm with the late great Molly Ivins on this: "My momma may have raised a mean child, but she raised no hypocrite." This has been a long time coming, and I intend to savor it, while poking my senators to keep the ball rolling.

I think I just sprained my diaphragm trying not to laugh as hard as I wanted to.
