Having been through two Law Enforcement Academies where you have to sit through the classes on communicable diseases I dont like anything in my mouth that isnt designed to be there. If I could I would go through life with latex gloves and a bottle of bleach solution.

I can tell you that anytime you put anything near your eyes mouth or nose you take a chance of making your self sick. Thus the way they are teaching kids etc to cover their mouth with there inner elbow when they sneeze, less chance of germs from the door knob etc geting in the system.

I agree the fish in the mouth would look better than the rod in the mouth.
