Maybe they should come up with an alternative button that says, "Ask me why it's important to wash your hands!"

That is a very absurd idea and I would not wear the button. I would suddenly have amnesia when it would come to wearing it.. What? Where? What button? Oh! That button. I can't find it. I left it home. Oh! the pin itches.All of the answers with a dumbfounded smirk on my face. I'd have soo many excuses they'd think I was senile.
Don't forget the MD's. Can you imagine that?

LOL!

Why do I have this mental picture of a surgeon walking into the OR wearing one of these buttons?

Oh, no. I have got to get to the store for those incontinent pads. I'm laughing way too hard.

I'd wear that button only if I were allowed to wear a "How Stupid Can They Get?" button next to it, with an arrow pointing to it >>>>>>>>>
