They sure are awesome.

In the Mens Toilets at the Shopping Mall they blow us men at 400mph. There's always a queue there waiting to drop their pants and ...

OMG ... what am I SAYING?!

These are everywhere in Europe.

I first saw them at Dubai airport.

They're great.

I'm always tempted to drop something else in there, besides my hands.

The cost would be prohibitive.

I don't - but funny you should ask. It was only yesterday that I thought about doing this, and that's because my hand-drying towel is always damp where I dry my hands on it.

Damp towels are a perfect breeding ground for germs. They are perfect material for acting as a crucible for growing germs.

After my open-heart surgery there's now a vital part of my ticker that has no immunity to infection at all, and that's because its an organic artificial implant without an internal blood-flow to deliver the anti-bodies.

That's why I have to visit dentists at least every 12 months to have my dental plaque, tartar, and calculus mini-jack-hammered so I don't swallow any infected detritus that would deliver germs into my blood stream that would find a home in my artificial Aortic valve.

I could always rip one of these $2000 400mph blow-job machines off the toilet wall down at my local Shopping Mall, but ....

I am in good health, never had a filling, and the dentist tells me I need to come every 6 months. I think it was 5 or 10 years between the last lot of visits.

I think someone has been giving you the over-simplified version. It is the infections in your gums that the doctors are worried about. They have direct access to your bloodstream right there. Swallowing would kill the germs. But you are right that dental health is an underappreciated load on your immune system.

Just buy a few more hand towels so you only use them for a short time. Or hang two so you can swap and let them dry out. You might need that $2000.

Copy that. But I chose an organic valve - not a mechanical one which would have seen me having to take Warfarin every day for the rest of my life. Warfarin has a lousy reputation.

Before my heart op I hadn't seen a dentist for ..... ............. . Okay - just ONCE recently to complain about sensitivity to cold water when I rinse after brushing my teeth.

Decades ago a good dentist explained to me why my teeth are so good:

1) Heavy smoker - the nicotine kills the germs and coats the teeth against decay.

2) Lucky genetics.

3) My mother had all three of us boys plugged up with fillings at the very earliest age whenever a tooth-ache occurred.

I'm 72 this year, and I have all of my teeth except one gap that's out of sight when I say 'cheeeese'.

Ah ... and there's the rub. I can't gargle anything with alcohol in it, no matter how diluted, and that's because like my deceased brother, father and mother my genes are primed-and-cocked to develop 'Head and Neck' cancer if alcohol passes over my gums, tongue, or throat.

Just yesterday I gave a new tube of toothpaste to my neighbour when (with a magnifying glass) I discovered the Oral-B toothpaste contained alcohol.

Look up Dr Chris O'Brien - he's the one who told my non-smoker brother that it was nothing more than the couple of beers per week he drank at his local club that had kick-started cancer cells from developing in his gums.

I think I might go for the rolls of paper towels that I have in the kitchen. Chuck them in a plastic bin and empty it once a week.

PS. Dr Chris O'Brien died of brain cancer less than three years after my brother died.
