Pace on Earth

Shower the People

When I was in grade 8 I was really stuck for a topic for an oral presentation I needed to do. At the last minute I decided I would speak on my love of singing in the shower. My argument was quite mostly that there wasn't much else to do in there because you were all alone (it was grade 8) and because the acoustics were great. As it turns out we aren't all alone and it appears that a shower head is as dirty as a toilet bowl, or close to it.

Personally I think this is just a (fairly transparent) ploy by the Washington bathroom fixture lobby to force us to buy more shower heads; the recommendation that follows the warning is that people replace their heads every 6 months. No shit. Rinse, lather, and repeat.

Pace out.

Update: The Globe is now reporting that you don't need to be afraid of taking a shower. Or singing in the shower for that matter.
