Pregnancy Test

I had a realization a while ago, but I never had the guts to bring it out into the open.  I now have the courage to come out in the open with this observation in hopes that I might change the world.....at least in a little way.

After discovering the + sign (or whatever other positive symbol) on a pregnancy test, why do women (and possibly some men) wave that stick around like it wasn't just peed on?


Now I won't go into my personal specific experience (for fear of being beaten to death by my lovely, 34 week pregnant wife), but I have seen (in tv shows or movies) girls wave that stick around like they are flagging in a 747.  All I can think about is who is going to be cleaning up the splatter spots of urine after that joyous moment.  I've seen people leave the stick on a dresser or even the bed.  What other item that was just urinated on is ok to be set down on those items, I ask you? 

Let us all band together and start a movement of cleanliness with pregnancy tests.  Does the pregnancy test change the results if viewed through a plastic baggie?  I think not.  Let's start handing husbands the pregnancy test that way (and maybe after you washed your hands too).  After it is placed in the baggie....feel free to jump around and wave your arms like your team just won the Super Bowl....it's all ok then.
