Perhaps not bacon, but you do want to receive some bakin' from the dryer.

I read once that these dryers are worst place in a public restroom to pick up germs. The heat from the drier is like a little bacteria colony and then it spews them all over your hands. I shake dry when those are my only option. Yuck.

Hijack warning. Want more outrage of a federal overreach. The Department of Labor proposed rules that would all but prohibit minors from working the family farm. It would also systematically destroy 4H and FFA.
From one article:
[Senator] Moran says DOL is still proposing "to do away with successful farm safety programs like cooperative extension, 4-H and FFA" and has ignored research that shows such programs improve safety habits of young people.
DOL’s criticism is that these programs "are too locally driven and lacking federal direction."
That sums up the entire attitude of the federal government and especially the Obama administration.
and, quoting Moran more:
"One example that truly demonstrates the DOL’s limited understanding of what it takes to provide our nation’s food supply is this: they propose limiting youth exposure to direct sunlight if the temperature reaches a certain limit once you factor in wind velocity and humidity. How is a farmer supposed to comply with that? Hire a meteorologist?"
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday three Marines on a U.S. Embassy security team and one embassy staff member were punished for allegedly pushing a prostitute out of a car in Brasilia late last year after a dispute over payment.

The incident is similar, but unrelated, to the scandal involving Secret Service agents at the Summit of Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, before President Barack Obama arrived for a visit.

Again, why is this news? Not because some American soldiers stationed overseas hired a local prostitute, like countless others before them. If that was what happened, then a woman from a country where millions live in terrible poverty would have earned some much-needed money, and no one would have been the wiser, including you & Leon.
Nope, it's news because some scumbags with contempt for prostitutes thought they could treat one like garbage and not pay her and get away with it. Criminalization of prostitution conditioned them to think of hookers as nothing but criminals, and they never imagined a worthless whore would have the wherewithal to pick herself up and go after them through the courts.

Yes. Yes it is.
It's news because the people of the United States hired these slithering fucktards to move stoically through the international realm, defending American interests (and well-being of the globe's most important Chief of State) with the dignity, guile and silence befitting that assignment. They instead chose (repeatedly) to use the travel to focus on their base personal needs in the seediest, clumsiest and (now-we-learn) most violent ways.
Whatever this is about for you, it isn't erotic sophistication.

You'd have to wash your hands after touching that thing. Which kind of defeats the purpose, I think.
