Taking a shower. Plus, women are weird.

[Knothead]

Here's the deal: When I take a shower, I shampoo my hair, soap down, rinse, do the all-important foot care, then towel off.

Well, after the divorce (in '96) and I finally got myself uncurled out of the fetal position and began dating again, I was struck by yet another thing I was ignorant of about women:

Make sure they have a fresh wash-cloth for the shower.

My own shower habits notwithstanding, I did not find this to be an unreasonable request, and J.C. Penney did very well by me, in the wash cloth department.

Anyway, I recently found myself "on-the-road-in-need-of-a-shower" and a lady friend allowed me to use hers ...I was practically in the dang thing, and she was thrusting this wash-cloth on me...she could NOT understand that someone would shower without one!

Here's the word: EXFOLIATION. This is the theory women have which has them scrubbing their skin with these bits of wet Terrycloth until they are red as lobsters!

I think this explains why they put so much lotion on themselves alla time. You guys ever notice this? They DO!

I'm working up a theory about it, but I thought I better ask you guys first...

EXFOLIATION? Isn't that something snakes do???




<Hmm. Methinks I see a connection.>

My theory:

1.) Most household dust is human skin cells.

2.) Most women hate to dust (men just don't dust)

3.) Therefore they are attempting to control the issue of always having to dust around the house by scrubing off as many layers of skin cells as they possibly can. Also explains why they force others to do the same.

You should have asked the lady friend to join you and demonstrate the proper use of said wash cloth.

HUH! Well, dangit, that there's a pretty good theory...

But then, if this is such a big deal, how come they don't simply bring in a shop vac, and just blow it all out of the house? Right?

Like I do. Hmmm. These wimmens is more complicated than they first appear.

Knothead, you been smoking again?

As to a wash cloth, personally I find the idea repulsive. What do you do with the errrr.....wash cloth after use? Rinse it, hang it to dry till next time?

Or throw it away?

If you reuse it, wouldn't it infect other clothes in the machine?

Reminds me of a French student who lived in our Dorms - In the morning he'd plug the sink, fill it up with hot water and use the water to wash his face using soap.

And reuse the same water. After he'd done rinsing his face in the now soapy/dirty water, he'd simply dry his face.

With a wash cloth.

Well Knot, sometimes it's just better leaving things like that to the imagination. The complex thinking of women, and the obscure reasonings that they use certainly cause this chrome dome to lose it's luster from time to time...it's one of those 7 deadly someting-or-others. Best to back up slowly, nod your head a few times like you agree and as soon as you are a safe distance- run for cover.

[OuTpaTienT]

hmmm, that theory I had earilier...you know, it almost seems logical and makes a certain amount of sense. Therefore I must conclude that there is no way that theory has anything to do with women's actions regarding washclothes.

But if men dusted, and if men used washclothes, then the theory might hold up for them. [shrug]

Dealing with women 101: When in doubt, just say "I'm sorry."
