Health Study: Women’s purses are disgusting
1 in 4 women’s purses carrying E Coli
A study was performed on women’s purses where a health team went to a local mall and took samples from the bottom of 50 women’s purses. The purses were swabbed with cotton swabs along the entire bottom of the purses and placed into special containers. The swabs were then processed at a local laboratory.
The Health Report also showed where women place their purses: public rest-rooms (on the floor beside the toilet), kitchen counters & kitchen tables, on tables & chairs in restaurants, etc. The results of the laboratory tests contained the following most serious result: 1 out of 4 purses — E COLI.
If this sounds like an urban legend, we found it at Snopes (via Digg) that lists it as TRUE.

Sweet. Now they know why we don’t want to hold their purses for them.
