Do The Four Part Trick
See this cartoon character, who is vaguely reminiscent of the Hamburger Helper factotum? It's "Henry the Hand."
Click here to hear his retro "Four Part Trick" theme song! Try not to giggle when the narrator says "Number two," because that would be very immature. Did you know that December 3rd-9th, 2006 was "National Handwashing Week"? Henry The Hand has a job! It is reflected in his eponymous website's mission statement:
To propagate Henry the Hand's 4 Principles of Hand Awareness throughout the United States and the world, if we have enough resouces, just for the health of it.
1) WASH your hands when they are dirty and BEFORE eating.
2) DO NOT cough into your hands.
3) DO NOT sneeze into your hands.
4) Above all, DO NOT put your fingers into your eyes, nose or mouth!
Anything else you want to do with your hands, however, is just fine.
Update: You can also listen to "Doin' the Handwash" which is a musical abomination that rhymes "dirty" and "wordy" to the tune of "Willie and the Hand Jive." Frankly I think Johnny Otis has a cognizable legal claim here, if not for copyright infringement than surely for defamation.
