Were they latex? You can't leave latex gloves lying around, because one of the students might be allergic. How inconsiderate of the Hands of Blue.

Ummm ... they'll be blue gloves to indicate that they are latex-FREE. That's why they're blue.

But you've given me a great idea for dealing with all the detrius left behind by prostitutes not so far from our place ... never mind the 'contents' of some of that detrius, but the latex *itself* is a human hazard! Time to get the health department on speed dial, bwah hah ha.

I just want them to clean up after themselves, eh?

Wesley was also being hands-of-blue guy on an Angel ep I saw recently. He was autopsying some demon or other to do with demon-drug smuggling.

Creepifaction.

Power rocks. Absolute power rocks absolutely.

Are you serious? Central Office monitors what you do during your planning? That sucks. As long as our kids do well on their end-of-course tests, our administrators really don't want to know what we do in our classrooms. In fact, most of the time I'm supposed to be observed for the entire period, the observer takes off after fifteen minutes. The other day I spent an entire period telling my kids how to avoid getting herpes, and we're not even supposed to be discussing sex-ed because it will apparently make all the girls instantly pregnant.

Hey, maybe that's what the blue gloves were. Maybe somebody used them to deliver a baby in the hallway from a girl who became an instant slut when she took sex-ed.

Sadly, we're not an indoor school. These gloves were out laying on the ground. But yes, even here IT can check in on what we're checking out at any time. On the flipside, we don't have many IT people because of budget shortfalls. However, if they see this they do a darn good job! :)

I'm an airport screener at San Francisco International Airport, and we wear disposable gloves all day long. I came into work the other day to find that we had changed the brand of gloves we use. I couldn't stop laughing when I opened one of the new boxes to find... blue gloves!!! The exact same color! LOL! I knew my job was evil, but I hadn't realized just how evil it was until that day!

Awesome! Now steal an entire box and sell pairs to everyone so we can stick them in our windows to scare other Firefly Fans! ;)

Oops . . . I swear I was awake during that faculty meeting!

So what do the Hands of Blue have against latex? Or are they just being considerate? That's almost Mayor Wilkins-ishly creepy.

Good question. I dunno. I mean, I know there are *tons* of people out there who are into latex as a fetish item, but I don't get it at all. One touch with a latex glove when I'm getting chemo and I feel as though I smell like a

all day long. Ugh!

Perhaps they are avoiding the smell? Or perhaps it goes along with the show's overall avoidance of latex in costuming ... no latex foreheads, etc.

Ooh! Ooh! I know this one!

Some people are allergic to latex, especially when they have to wear it day in and day out. My wife gets a rash if she wears latex gloves too long.

So the non-latex (rubber or plastic) gloves are for those people. And for creepy guys who can kill you with their brains.

Hmmm ... maybe I can pick up some blue gloves for the Halloween shindig ...
