A few years ago I was taking a cruise through the Panama Canal. It was the shakedown cruise for the line and very afforable. Well, they didn't have a lot of professional entertainers for the evenings's entertainment, part of the cost control I suppose. On one occasion, willing guests were providing the evenings' program. There was a group of approximately twelve Japanese people traveling together. They created what appeared to be a group shower. There was a makeshift showerhead; a curtain on a rope that enclosed everyone and concealed their attire or lack of. They shuffeled along singing something and commenced a mock group shower. It was hilarious.

Behind what??? By the way, my very first ballet performance featured Rudolph Nureyev dancing "Corsair". I was hooked. He did actually hang mid-air as if on invisible threads.

One more thing to add to the male shower ritual. For reasons unknown, they insist on using female tweezers for everyting from corkscrews to screw drivers making it impossible for said female to deal with her corsairs. Does sound better - thanks,Kat.

Okay, like, showers, eh? Showers are okay as long as you don't take em too oftern, cos that, like opens the pores up and you could get sick. I take a shower maybe every 10 days or when my drinking buddies start to complain and say things like "Geez, what died around here?" Then I figure it's time.

A shower is also a good time to shave.

The trouble is someone always turns on the water downstairs, eh? Like mostly my dunbass brother, Don or one of his loser friends. So I'm just gettin into it and the water goes friggin ice cold! I'm like "Hey, what the flip! Stop runnin' the flippin water down there!" It don't do no good, cos he usually don't hear me, at least that's what he says. Of course, he lies like a dead snake on the highway.

So I turn the cold tap down and the hot way up, and then all of a sudden the water goes so friggin hot that I get scaled like a lobster! I jump outa the shower and yank open the bathroom door and I'm like "You flippin loser, I'm gonna pound you!"

He's like "I'd like to see you try, bolthole!"

I'm like "I better not have to come down there!"

He's like "Come, love, come...the birdie's are waiting to sing over your corpse..."

And so on. It goes on and on, and I don't get to take a decent shower.

So I waited and when he took a shower I did the same thing to him...double. Plus I put crazy glue all over the toilet seat last night. That fixed him for awhile. You shoulda heard the yelling. I turned Ozzie up to ELEVEN and just let him yell all he wanted. Nobody calls me a bolthole and don't pay for it.

It is getting downright hard to stay clean around here, eh?

I quit shaving because I hate to look myself in the face in the morning. I once shaved the beard off on holiday and my wife said "grow it back right now".

Anyway shaving the bottom end of your head is no more natural than having the top end. It's a form of ineffectual repetitive cosmetic surgery, trying to improve on the look God and your genes have determined for you.

I reckon that the first thing Adam did when he'd eaten the apple was to have a shave, and that was the last straw. An apple, well He might maybe have let that go for once - but shaving, that was going way too far.

McGrath! At last we find a point of agreement. There's hope for the Middle-East yet.
Actually, I don't take showers because there's never any hot water. Between the Memsahib and our son, I'm lucky to get a bowlfull for a sponge bath. I quit shaving because I could no longer tolerate the cold shaving lather.
It's either that or shower at 5:00am and I don't EVEN get up that early.

I hate bloody showers. Bathtubs do what you want them to, within reason. Showers ambush you. The only times I use them is if I'm staying in a place where there isn't a bath, and then only if I can't sneak down to breakfast without.

Drop clothes on floor.
Squeeze into shower, paddling in freezing water.
Adjust controls, and switch on.
Leap out screaming as icy water explodes out in various directions.
Squeeze back in.
Adjust controls again carefully, and switch on.
Leap out screaming and scalded.
Reach in and switch off water.
Dry self ineffectively on towel the size of face cloth.
Clamber back into wet clothes - on which have been standing and dripping.
Squelch off to get breakfast, which has just finished.
Sulk.

This time hallowed ritual is observed by both male and female. Apart from the clothes on the floor, which is primarily male. (Female equivalent has the clothes balanced on the top of the shower copartment, and falling in at climactic moment.)

I hate bloody showers.

Because of the water shortage in Florida, showering together is to be outlawed. Showering together to save water is a myth. The water police (they really exist) checked it all out and found a person M or F could shower in 3-4 minutes, but when they put them together 15-20 minutes would pass with the water running full blast. Even when the hot water ran out, things didn't speed up.

I checked this out myself and except for minor timing differences it is true.

How to take a shower like a 13-year-old young lady.

1. Announce to the whole family that you are going to take a shower.
2. Hang out with the family in the kitchen or living room if the conversation seems interesting. Interject rude remarks every time your brother says anything.
3. If one of your brothers goes into the bathroom, yell at them to keep it short because you're about to take a shower.
4. Receive four phone calls. Make two.
5. Continue conversation with family, ignoring Mom's pointed comments about "you said you wanted to talk to me privately before bed and I'm not going to stay up all night so you'd better get in the shower."
6. Go into bathroom. Lock door. Do something for half an hour that doesn't involve running water.
7. Whenever anybody asks through the door what you're doing, yell, "I'm taking a shower, duh!"
8. If they ask how you're taking a shower without water running, make a loud noise indicating your displeasure with their existence on the planet.
9. Start water running. Adjust temperature until it's perfect. Be sure to splash lots of water on the floor.
10. Undress. Leave all clothes on floor or bathroom counter.
11. Step into shower. Wash self slowly. Wash hair with each type of shampoo in the shower stall.
12. Remember that "your" shampoo is sitting on the bathroom floor by the sink. Get out of shower, get it, get back in. Be sure to get lots more water on the floor.
13. Yell at Mom to remind her to buy more of "your" shampoo, and about how disgusted you are that your slimy brother uses it, and why can't he get his own brand?
14. When Mom yells "What?" through the door, yell "Never Mind!" in your most disgusted voice. Repeat noise made in step 8.
15. Turn off shower. Immediately hop out onto the bath mat, without allowing time for water to drip off your body, thereby completing the floor-wetting process, the final result of which is that the floor mat has more water in it than most Minnesota lakes.
16. Grab the nearest towel. Dry some of your body. Decide this towel isn't good enough. Drop it on the floor.
17. Grab another towel. Dry some more of your body. If your body seems dry enough, drop towel on floor. If not, drop towel on floor and grab another towel and repeat this step.
18. Dry your hair with yet another towel. Drop it on the floor.
19. Blow-dry hair.
20. Decide to paint nails a new color. Start, then realize you haven't dressed yet and it will take 20 minutes for the nail polish to dry, during which you won't be able to get dressed.
21. Remove nail polish applied in step 20. Leave used kleenex or TP on the counter.
22. When Mom knocks on the door and repeats the warning she made in step 5, repeat noise made in step 8.
23. Unlock door. Begin to open it. Realize you're naked and lock it again.
24. Grab yet another towel. Wrap yourself in it. Unlock door.
25. Emerge, wrapped in towel. Yelling, "Don't look!" walk slowly to bedroom, unless the conversation in the kitchen or living room seems interesting as you pass.

HOW TO TAKE A SHOWER WHEN LIVING WITH RELATIVES

1) wake up three hours before you have to go to work in order to get to shower before niece

2) find nephew has exited tub only 10 minutes before. no hot water.

3) postpone shower - take icy sponge bath.

4) break speed limits and sound barrier driving home from work to get to shower before B-I-L arrives home.

5) find nephew has just exited from 3 hour tub soak. no hot water.

6) postpone shower - heat enough water on stove to bathe face and other essentials.

7) threaten family's life limb and sanity if don't get to use shower.

8) when that doesn't work threaten to take socks off.

9) move.

I usually shower in the morning so I am alreagy naked. I stagger into the bathroom making sure I avoid all contact with full length mirrors (they only lie anyway!). Return to life slowly under the shower and them realise my towel is still in the bedroom from last time so yell for Geoff.

HOW TO SHOWER LIKE A MENOPAUSAL WOMAN

1. Walk in baggy pajamas to bathroom.
3. Feel neck and chin for course hairs, since eyes are now too weak to see them.
4. Face the doctor's scale bought at the thrift store in order to keep accurate count of weight gain/loss.
5. Drape towel over the scale.
6. Adjust water to hottest temp (if not currently having a hot flash).
7. Remind self to clean the tub and shower and wash shower curtain... someday.
8. Shampoo and condition with forumla for color treated hair.
9. Try not to slip and break any bones. Use grab bars installed for safety.
10. Shave under arms and think about leg shaving... someday.
11. Sing every song currently memorizing. Try not to slip and break any bones while rinsing off conditioner.
12. Use up the hot water getting arthritic neck and shoulder to relax.
13. Avoid looking in mirror until hair is blown dry.
14. Remind self to take vitamins.
15. Wrap self in warmest robe available (unless having a hot flash). Go get another cup of coffee and check email again.

Spaw, a friend of mine was likewise employed in a hotel bathroom when he lost his footing and hit into the sink which shifted, fell over and exploded into bits of flying shards. Hiw wife was laughing too hard to be of any assistance. Although unharmed he was covered with tiny cuts and scratches making him look like a crash victim. The hotel manager didn't know what to make of it all. the noise brought fellow guests running. Very embarrassing. And now they confine their activities to beds.
