Following the premise that one in five loo visitors don’t wash their hands, the Florida Department of Health invites you to Talk to the 5th Guy. (Why you’d want to, knowing what you now know about him, is anybody’s guess.)

The campaign, hoping to convict 5th guys far and wide, includes TV and outdoor spots that berate germy behavior and suggest clean new habits.

We’re just wondering to ourselves how much more sanitary it is to admonish people to wipe their sneeze snot on their arms. Maybe it’s only hands (and the occasional salacious employee cheek-lick) that pass germs.
