For decades people have been telling children to wash their hands after urinating. I feel I must dust off my decades old biology degree from that venerable institution , the university of Illinois, and correct this error. You see, urine is actually mildly acidic and is a germicide (you know - kills germs). In fact as recently as the 1700's some people used to gargle with urine as an antiseptic. I'm sure it it wasn't great for the breath and I'm sure I would frown upon kissing anyone who just gargled with the stuff, but it was used as an antiseptic.
So, let me give you this scenario:
You wake up and take a shower. While in the shower you wash your private parts thoroughly. After your shower you put on clean underwear followed by clean pants. You could do this in reverse order, but it is not advised. You may even skip the underwear step all together, but let's assume the pants are clean. Your hands however, are exposed to germs constantly from surfaces that others have touched, sneezed on, coughed on etc. Your hands are the most germ ridden part of your body. Now you have the urge to pee, so you find an open urinal and and pull out your johnson with your filthy germ ridden hands. After finishing you put your now dirty willie back in your pants and wash your hands. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
What you should do is wash your dirty hands BEFORE you pee, so that now only clean hands touch your pristine peepee and your are germ free.
And if you get a drop on your hands, don't worry, just wipe it on your pants and kill some germs.
