Don't Touch Your Face

I got an estimate for some auto maintenance a week ago and the man kept licking his finger to thumb through the paperwork he gave me.

And definitely, positively, under no circumstances, touch someone else's face. Not doing that again.

I'm thinking of putting the dogs Elizabethon collar on when I go shopping, it's about the only way I'm going to be able to stop myself.

I have been trying to keep account of myself and no matter how much I try, I slip up and touch my face.

Now, I haven't researched this deeply and it may sound radical, but I hypothesize that the human face may be important in how we identify to ourselves and others as well as in communication. It may be that touching our face is so natural and common that we do it constantly without thinking. I am currently resting my chin on my thumb tapping my upper lip as I ponder how to test this.

Alternatively, due to our height and bipedalism, our faces are maintained at a height that puts them in the path of wind borne particles and insects. Making out faces particularly itchy. Throw in some details about surface drag, friction and pressure and that might even sound serious.

I believe the little bugger has been airborne from the onset
