My mother taught me to use toilet paper and not my hands.  Why do people think that eliminating waste makes your hands dirty?

You have an immune system for a reason, sweetie! Give it a workout!

"Hey, you with the green jacket! Get back here and wash your hands! Didn't your mother teach you anything?"

Yeah, like I want Tiger Woods to beat the crap out of me with a 7 iron. Great advice.
