While getting my rubdown I often politely ask the groper how he feels about standing near that unshielded radiation source scattering x-rays all over. He usually says something like "there's lead in it" or "they are safe." I tell them I'm a cardiologist that works daily with radiation, and I remain a bit unconvinced. The groping finishes pretty quickly.
