Breaking News! New Permanent Glove Invented
Loading ...I recently got educated on the difference between vinyl, latex, nitrile, powder-free, lightly-powdered, lightweight, heavyweight, medical grade, beauty grade, food grade and everything else in between disposable gloves.
Gloves are used virtually everywhere. TSA uses gloves; food service handlers use gloves; even supermarket cashiers are starting to wear gloves.
And then it dawned on me why glove use has become so pervasive. Think hand sanitizer. Everywhere you look there is a hand sanitizer station. More and more public bathrooms have them since people are too lazy to use soap and water.
Think handshakes. For some reason, it is still custom to handshake when you meet someone in a business setting. Last weekend at the beauty show I had to shake hands on multiple occasions. YIKES! What is worse when the other hand is wet, sweating, soft and not knowing where it was last? I am inventing the “handshake” glove.
But it already has been invented, sort of. The new “knuckle-to-knuckle” handshake is the best and I am using it more and more. Unfortunately it’s not approved for business use. So the handshake glove has a chance.
In the end, most people are unsanitary. I cannot tell you how many guys leave the stall and don’t wash their hands. Women’s stalls are an adventure and you wonder they still install toilet seats on the toilets since who would dare sit on one?
I am bypassing the handshake glove for the all-new “Permanent” glove. That’s right folks. From the moment you leave your house to the time you get home, this permanent glove will last all day long, protect you from all human contact, surfaces touched by humans (did you know escalator rubber rails have the most germs of all?) and take care of all the handshakes you need to make. And best of all, no one will know you are wearing it.
Happy Friday!

That’s worthy of a high five…….With the glove on of coarse.

if you wear the glove, use the restroom, but don’t wash is it ok?

This is so exciting to me!
I handle money all day long from so many different people and to think that they do not wash there hands after they use the bathroom or whatever else makes my stomach turn. I’ve also seen women leave the rest room without washing too many times to count. Gross!
I hate opening doors to public places and dont even get me started on the elevator rail! That is something I refuse to touch.

Sounds like a good idea- however- how many people are going to wear these gloves and then still touch their eyes, ears, and noses?? It wont be much help then…..

it all comes down to washing your hands

We may as well get rid of the handshake all together. People barely make eye contact or smile any more anyway. What’s one more form of greeting gone to wind.
What will communication and gestures be like for the Text Generation? Will they be able to communicate face to face?
I can see it now, a silent college party with everyone’s head down drunk texting each other.

Aren’t ya still being exposed to the same elements with the gloves on if your not changing them every time your exposed? The germs are still being spread and in contact with your face and body. Great concept if the perm a glove was a layered glove like the Nascar Windshield peel offs.

You’re suspect! Yeah, you! I don’t know what your reputation is in this town, but after the stuff you tried to pull today you can bet I’ll be looking into you. Now the business we have, heretofore, you can speak with my aforementioned attorney. Good day, gentlemen; and until that day comes, keep your ear to the grindstone

Hmm, instead of a paraffin dip, we can do a latex dip.
This is getting a little far out!

Two men go into a restroom and do their business. Afterward one man washes his hands. As there leaving he asks the other man if he washed his hands. The man replies “no”. The first man askes him, “why not”. The man replies “because when I was a little boy my father taught me not to pee on them”.

I hope and pray that I never have to stand in front of a jury.

That’s why the double-tap is so important, Gary.
