Today after class I had collision with inspiration. I was in the bathroom. Not an uncommon place to come up with a world changing idea. I heard that the guy who invented sliced bread did so while testing his other great invention, the flushing toilet. So after using the toilet I went to the sink to wash my hands. Something that nearly all of us do. In fact the number 1 reason that I wash my hands after urinating is because other people don't. I guess if everyone washed there hands then there would be no reason to wash mine, but of course that’s the crux of the problem: because not everyone washes their hands, everyone has to wash their hands.
So as I stand there running warm water over my hands, a man exits stall number 2. Regardless of what he was doing in there (though whatever it was, it alone probably warrants hand washing), the fact that you are in the bathroom to begin with demands hand washing before you can leave. And of course also using your jacket to open the door on your way out, lest you get your clean and purty hands soiled again just as you make your clean escape.
However this man walks clear past the sinks, is almost gone, on to eat lunch, before realizing his mistake, turning back and visiting the sink. This is where I become inspired.
Maybe he grew up in a social situation in which hand washing wasn’t as prominent. Maybe his parents never constantly remained him as a child to wash his hands. Maybe for some reason he’s forgot what he’s been doing for the last 20 odd years, perhaps this guy is simply forgetful. Or worst of all, maybe he doesn’t like washing his hands but does it simply out of subscription to cultural norms. In any case, this man could use a reminder.
Now introducing “Dirty Dick”.
This is the perfect product any forgetful man. “Dirty Dick” is a cream that you apply to your male member before you leave the house in the morning. The cream dries quickly, has a bold blue color, but is non-staining, safe for all skin types and doesn't damage undergarments. It also has moisturizing and anti-bacterial properties making it perfect for maintaining male hygiene. The functional properties of “Dirty Dick” continue in that when you visit the restroom some “Dirty Dick” will ultimately rub off on to your hands leaving them with a bold blue tint.
This becomes very obvious and will remind you that you need to go wash your hands before you leave a trail of blue markings all over yourself and your environment. It will also give you a colorful reminder when you reach down and adjust yourself in public. Perfect for forgetful men who need extra reminding. Also great for kids and teens who just don’t know better.
Also try "Dirty Lips" for forgetful women.
“Dirty Dick” is still in pre-protype stages and has no planned production or release schedule. In fact “Dirty Dick” will probably simply remain a figment of my imagination. However, if there is public interest I could consider changing that.
