Hellmuth/Matusow Bathroom Chat

After MM had his KKK cracked by flush.

[ QUOTE ]
When I walked into the bathroom and waited for an open urinal, Raymer and Hellmuth were talking. Hellmuth pisses with his sunglasses on. Raymer was nice to sign a few autographs after he washed his hands. Then Mike walked in while I pissing and stood next to me. Raymer left and Hellmuth washed his hands and talked to Mike.

Hellmuth: Hang in there Mike. You have chips. Plenty of chips. You got over $2M. Just play smart.

Mike: I told myself I wasn't going to play any big pots today early. And I played three. [censored]

Hellmuth: Tough spot in there. It's hard to lay down Kings preflop like that.

Mike: The guy next to me said he folded two hearts too. Can't believe it. I flopped a set too. [censored].

And yes, Mike didn't wash his hands as he left.

you left out the part where they discuss which "feminine hygeine products" they prefer

Yeah, I was surfing so much yesterday, I just copied it from a blog becasue I thought it was interesting. I wasn't implying it was me writing this report from the WSOP. Anyway, yes it was from Tao Poker.

"...my point is that just because you don't think you have anything doesn't mean you don't. Thus the apparent paradox: you can frolic with your honey all you want, but you still have to wash your hands after using the pot."

Yes, I read this. Cecil commits the fallacy known as argument from ignorance; in essence, he demands that you prove that you DON'T have a fecal coliform bacteria infectiom if you are to refute the claim that touching your privates requires handwashing. This is clearly absurd; the onus is on Cecil to prove that the risk of infection is non-negligible. He fails to do this; nor -- as opposed to the Mythbusters -- does he cite any actual experimental evidence in support of his conclusion.

Cecil is inconsistent in another way: If, as he claims, you are in a state of homeostatis with your lover's germs, why would you not be in a similar state with your own germs? AFter all, you are in contact with yourself much more than with your lover.

shame.

Hi,

You are incorrect, urinating in modern bathroom facilities causes tiny sprays of urine and water to be slashed up to 6ft from the point of contact/impact.

Your hands are usually thinly coated with such spray, but you don't feel it because the sprays are so tiny to begin with.

Later,
MarkV.

assuming the arguement is still on bacteria: since your urine is sterile, it isn't going to infect your hands with some mysterious bug that was already present in your urinary tract. the only danger i see here is if there was some small residue of something infectious lingering on the urinal. so follow me here:

a small amount of some infectious bacteria is on the urinal. Your urine causes a small amount of this to dislodge and spray out, and a small amount of that spray actually lands on your hands. When you go to eat later, a small portion of the small amount that is still left on your hands and still alive after doing whatever daily activities you perform between pissing and eating is transferred to your food and ingested. This extremely diluted sample of the original bacteria living in the urinal probably isn't dangerous enough to keep you up at night.

Although i do agree with the checkpoint theory, there are probably bigger things in life to worry about.

My penis is very large and requires excessive handling and manipulations to get into proper position. Because of this, I feel I need to clean my hands of any sweaty residue from my member.

That's not what an argument from ignorance is, and it's not what Cecil said.

You are in homeostasis with your own germs. But the other players at your table aren't. So you're going to return to the table without washing your hands, handle your chips as you put them into the pot, then lose them to seat number four -- who will promptly die of hepatitis.
