Down the Drain

June 12, 2008 on 9:24 am | In General Musing |

I was whining to a friend about blogging. Why keep at it, knowing hardly anyone reads the damn things? My exact words were, “It’s like peeing in the shower.” As in, you know - feels good, no one notices.

This was the point were the conversation veered sharply. My whinee was, um, shocked at my casual assumption that everyone pees in the shower. As if the toilet drains to some other sewer than the pristine one your other household drains go to. (They don’t, right?) He claims never to have committed this particular act. I was tempted to call bullshit. I mean, come on! Never? But my gut tells me he wasn’t lying.

Of course that got me thinking. Doesn’t everyone enjoy the occasional whiz in the shower? Do people get out of the shower and drip over to the commode? Or did I inadvertently confess to some kind of squalid, lowlife behavior that I should be ashamed of? I guess it’s a little late for that. So how about reality check instead?

I tried to put a poll here and it’s not working, so for now just leave your answer in a comment.

Poll: Pee in the shower?

1. The very sound of running water starts my “faucet”
2. Duh
3. I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you
4. Only if someone tells a really funny joke
5. Remind me never to stay at your house, OK?
