As a gag for "Candid Camera" one day, Peter Funt rigged the hand dryer in a men's room to mist water onto a user's hands. The joke, however, was on Funt and his crew, who had to film dozens of subjects before finding anyone willing to use the hand dryer.

[The instructions on many hand dryers have been altered as follows:
1: "Push Button" becomes "Push Butt."
2: "Rub hands under warm air" becomes "Rub hands under arm."
3: This instruction is always scratched into oblivion.
4: This instruction (added below #3) reads, "Wipe hands on pants."]
