Sometimes its hard to keep your desk clean and tidy. Turns out, men seem to find it a bigger problem, because a recent study suggests that men have far, far dirtier desks than women. To establish that, a team of researchers from the University of San Diego sampled bacteria from offices in New York, San Francisco and Tucson, Arizona.
They took swabs from everywhere and made a note of the gender of the person using the particular space the sample was taken from. From there, they analyzed the levels and types of bacteria present in the samples. The results show that the areas inhabited by men are, well, just plain dirtier.

This is the same reason I shudder a little every time the IT guys have to work on my computer.
Back in the eighties I used to service typewriters and wordprocessors. When it came to keyboards the dirtiest were definitely those used by women. Cleaning them out produced a variety of food residue, cigarette ash, fingernails and all glued together with makeup residue. Even cigarette ash and food were less of a problem with mens keyboards, but we seldom found makeup or fingernails in keyboards belonging to male operators.
Ew. What is this photo? You can share this article https://paperovernight.com/blog/research-paper-conclusion here. But delete this ugly picture.
