I usually shower with Fisher and Boy when I take my morning shower.

When I shower in the evening it's usually with Dashboard Confessional!

I believe Eskimos don't shower!

They have a bath.

In Bhutan, they put water in a huge wooden tub, heat rocks and put them in and when the water is hot, then the family jumps in!

Baths are a great way to unwind and get the kinks out. I like to be clean first as the idea of stewing in my own filth is not too appealing.

My 2 cats have a fascination with my shower cubicle that defies explanation. They will jump in there, sniff around, sit in it (getting themselves wet from the water on the tiles) and generally behave very strangely. The fascination ends, however, when the shower is turned on. They run for the hills. Fortunately I have always been a 'shower alone' guy myself.

Will shower alone or only with Mrs. Skull6--no one else.

It's one of the ways I keep my "mysterious" persona ...

When you spend time with the ladies in a bathroom, the mystery is over.

I normally shower alone, but ever the gentleman, I would permit Nichole Kidman to share the cubicle with me!

You never would have made it in the rural country back in the day. One tub of water and the entire family bathing in it. I still recall a farm family I used to visit that kept the water in the tub all day for washing feet. By the end of the day it would get SOME of the dirt off. They had 8 kids and everyone including me liked to go barefoot during the day at some point.

Baths used to be once a week back in the day when water had to be hauled, heated on the wood stove and then poured into a shallow large basin or tub. I still recall my great-grandparents house - no running water as we know it now - but there was a hand pump to the cistern along with a wood stove in the kitchen. This was back in the 1960's mind you.....
