If your cell phone has more bacteria than a toilet seat, you're using it wrong.

Right, but you don't need a cell phone for that. Wearing a winter parka in the winter charges me up so that when I get out of my car I get a shock touching the door. It doesn't have anything to do with a cell phone. Static has a lot of sources.
