Put your hands together
Nothing says, "Get your swine flu here," like a crowded sports venue.
And, brother, do we have a petri dish worth of events on the calendar: the Preakness, Capitals playoffs and NCAA lacrosse playoffs--men's and women's, for starters. Throw in college and high schools graduations and you've got an epic battle: Microorganisms, 10, Immune system, 0.
Kids in grade school learn to thoroughly wash their hands to the Alphabet Song. In the 20 seconds or so it takes to reach, "next time won't you sing with me?" the hands are scrubbed free of the nasties. (As an aside, Toy Department notes that police departments use the song to nab drunken drivers. Nothing says "bombed" like "MNLOP.")
But what about sports fans?
Well, the ESPN sports theme--Da-da-dah, Da-da-dah--takes two seconds. So you can do that 10 times.
A sprightly sung, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, runs about 30 seconds. Finishing washing at, "If they don't win it's a shame," and turn to the paper towels or air dryer for the, "One, two, three strikes," conclusion.
Now, Orioles fans don't have much to worry about, seeing as how the population of Camden Yards on most days doesn't measure up to the numbers in a good-sized university lecture hall.
Still, we want fans to be safe. So...
"Orioles Magic! Feel it happen!
Orioles Magic! Feel it happen!
O - R - I - O - L - E - S !
Magic! Magic! Magic! Magic!"
Wash, rinse and repeat. Return to your seat.
