   Also unnecessary.  I once complained to my doctor, when I came down with a   
   cold that wouldn't go away, that I either washed my hands too many times or   
   one less than I should have.  Poor guy never knows what I'm gonna say next.    
   So, I ate the pie after the job was finished and had washed my hands.  (-:
