How long do you think you could go without a shower?
It depends on the shower. I went for weeks without a shower while the bathroom was re-fitted. I can go at least every other day now it’s back; it’s not like I ever get dirty cleaning the house, is it? I could move to Antarctica: on base there, you are only allowed to take two, two-minute showers a week.
- April showers: I can manage from May to March without breaking a sweat.
- Meteor showers: I’d like to see one, but from a distance; so I would have to say ‘indefinitely’.
- Showers of blessings: I’d like them all the time.
- Cold showers: too tired to ever need one.
- My family (usually referred to scornfully by me as ‘that shower!’): not at all; somebody has to go out for the Maltesers.
Napoleon once wrote to Mrs Napoleon, ‘I’ll be home in a week – don’t bathe till I get there.’ That’s my kind of man.
















What a weird question. I admire your persistence in doing this poastaday thing, but really…..
I also admire your ingenuity in making the answers interesting.
When you are as self-absorbed as I am, it’s easy
I love the idea of taking a meteorite shower!
Don’t ask me to hold the towel
I need a daily shower. It’s hot and muggy here in Hawaii. I’d take two showers if it wouldn’t raise our water bill.
I showered at least once a day in South Africa; it never gets hot enough here in the UK to break a sweat.
At its hottest in Seychelles, we had what we called three shower days (one in the middle of the night, as the temperature stayed high from given off by the huge granite boulders acting as radiators) plus at least an hour a day spent in the sea. That must be the cleanest period of my life.
I was never anywhere that hot, thank goodness.
My someone at WordPress got paid to think of that question…I need a new job.:-)
Thought you’d have something to say about showers!
I shall shower you with complements – for making this an interesting post.
— or even compliments — never can remember how to remember the difference in these two words!
I’ll take them as they come, don’t worry.
