If you visit the university campus,
you can spot a chemistry student
in the men’s washroom.
He is the one
washing his hands
before using the facility.
If you visit Parliament,
you can spot a cabinet member
in the House of Commons.
He is the one
washing his hands
while standing up,
answering a question.
