Use feet,not hands on plane
Passengers on planes have been asked to use their feet instead of their hands
when operating in-flight entertainment devices, because it is morehygienic.
Airlines made therequest after itwasrevealed that thereare fewer bacteria
(microscopic life forms thatcanharm people or help with digesting food) on
feet than thereare on hands, which means the screens don’t need to be
cleaned as often. The owner of one airline, Ryan Hair,said most flyers had
managed to use the devices with their toes when asked. Do you think this story
is real, or is it toe weirdtobetrue?*

Do youuse handsor
feet forthe screens?
