So, you’ve just finished taking a shit and now you’re about to go put your contact lenses in your eyes and if you had to choose would you prefer to (1) not wash your hands and therefore still have some microscopic shit on your finger when you use that finger to put your contact lens in your eye or (2) wash your hands with soap first and have some residual bit of soap on your finger when you put the contact lens in your eye?
Which would you prefer to get residual bits of in your eye: shit or soap?
I would do what I always do before I touch my contacts: Wash my hands thoroughly, rinse them until there is hopefully neither shit nor soap left on them, and then touch my contacts.
I hardly ever shit on both of my hands. Whichever one didn’t go back there, I’d use to stab myself in eye with contact lens. Not that use them, but if I did.
If for some reason post-defecatory ablutions somehow became a two-handed operation, I would scrup hand for several minutes under warm water without soap and then use that hand to stab self in eye with contact lens.
After washing my hands thoroughly, I also squeeze some contact cleaner solution onto my fingers for the lubrication and antiseptic value. (I buy the cheap generic stuff in quantity).
I like hot sauce. Let’s just say I always wash my hands before I either take out or put in my contact lenses. You’re reading the Dope, and are a smart person. I’m sure you can picture where this went. . .

Before my eyes became self-eyewash stations, IIRC, the bottle said ‘Scoville 5,000’.

Now the shits . . . they came later. But my contacts were already out. . .
