Shower Power

The question was once asked, How long do you think you could go without a shower?

I would answer, It depends on the shower.

• Bathroom 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.

Some more bathing quotes:

• People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you’ll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.   Erma Bombeck
• Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.  Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle
• I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.   Joan Rivers and/or Rodney Dangerfield
• Basically my wife was immature. I’d be at home in the bath and she’d come in and sink my boats.  Woody Allen
• Last Wednesday, I stupidly dropped my iPhone in the bath, and my life has sort of spiraled almost out of control.  Patrick Stewart

And finally, here’s a little something I came across that I think most of you will enjoy.  It has nothing to do with our theme, except that the purists among you might feel the need to take a shower when it’s done.
