Lies, Damn Lies

Thank god for showers (or why showers are so much better than baths)

Heh, it has been so good to have showers now I am back home. I could of course have a shower in university, but it would be cold, and cold showers are evil things. Apparently they also ruin sexual appetite. I wouldn't know- i've never tried that particular combination.

But god showers are better.

1)Its easy to adjust the temperature in a shower. I know stand up comics make a big thing of the extreme changes caused by slight twists of the shower controls, but at least they change! Baths take about 5 minutes to change the temperature, and you always get it wrong anyway. Also, with our bath we normally run out of hot water so I can only make the bath colder.

2)Its cleaner having a shower. When you have a bath you are sitting in your own filth which has just come off, and, in my case, Paul's filth, cause there isn't really time to clean out the bath. And if you think about that, thats pretty foul. A shower is fresh water all the time... so much better.

3)Its quicker. You have to fill a bath, then you have to get in it, and then clean and urgh... a shower takes a few minutes to heat up and then you clean yourself. You can take longer if you want, but you don't have to, and when you've got a bus to catch, this is rather useful.

4)Its less wasteful. The amount of water you use when taking a bath is phenomenal- you use much smaller amounts when taking a shower. There is a limit to fresh water on this planet, and it does take energy to process it all

5)Its easier to wash your hair. It is practically impossible to rinse your hair when in a bath. It just isn't happening. And when you've got hair as big as mine, that's not good. Thats not good at all.

So in conclusion, showers with warm water should be provided by law.
