well, the dry tissue would do a fair job at removing all remaining residue from your hands - where it might fall down, however, is on removing certain potentially-harmful bacteria.

Onto why this is a somewhat nonsensical comment. Your butthole, despite being lovingly cleansed with babywipes, will very quickly replenish its bacterial load - you are achieving a temporary victory at best. Furthermore, whilst you might conceivably chew your nails (although you've presumably reached homeostasis with the various bugs in your own body), or transmit said germs to door handles and whatnot, you're probably fairly unlikely to be chewing on your own ass, or ramming doorhandles into its dark recesses.

In short, bogroll exists to keep your pants clean, rather than establish a scorched-earth policiy for bacteria. Hands, being used for somewhat more varied tasks than arses, require more dilligent cleaning.

"you're probably fairly unlikely to be chewing on your own ass, or ramming doorhandles into its dark recesses."
Half right, anyway.

Which is why I always use an alcohol style gell for my hands after I've been to the loo or touched someone else's keyboard etc.
