Menstruation

Jacobs is a self-admitted germophobe, so he particularly likes the rule not to touch women who are menstruating. Since in most cases he has no idea who has her period and who doesn't he takes this as a "brilliantly convenient excuse not to touch 51 percent of the population." I guess if a person is going about following all the rules that he is attempting to follow that people will just stop questioning what his reasoning is and just chalk him up to someone you don't want to hang around.
