I have decided that we should all skip bathing for a week
and I came up with ten reasons why. My number one reason would be that with everyone
bathing every day we waste a lot of water and it is not like water is a renewable
resource we have to conserve as much water as we can. Well on second thought
that doesn’t seem like a very good reason I just learned that the polar ice
caps are melting and that causes more water in the oceans. My second reason
would be that we could add time to our days by skipping baths. I believe that
everyone would enjoy a longer day and this would make it seem possible. My
third reason is the amount of energy used to pump the water and heat it would
be eliminated and this means that we become less reliant on foreign oil. Reason
number four would be that it is healthier for our skin. The chemicals in soap
can’t be healthy I mean have you ever tasted soap? Also, I heard somewhere that
the hot water can dry your skin out. The fifth reason why we should refrain from
bathing for a whole week is so that the people who are not fortunate enough to
take baths would feel better about themselves at least for a week. I get
enjoyment out of being able to make people feel better about their selves. Reason
number six is that dread locks are really cool and without washing our hair we
could all have dreadlocks. Reason number seven would be that dirt is a good
sunblock and with the rising number in skin cancer cases this could be the next
best thing to a cure for cancer. Reason number eight would be that we can put a
crunch on body wash and shampoo suppliers. If we didn’t bathe for a week there
would be a huge surplus of shampoo and soap and that would lower the cost of
these products. Reason number nine would be that it could increase business for
scent-blocker clothing brand. They need the business, they just settled a
lawsuit over whether their products actually eliminate 100% percent of human
scent. Reason number ten would be that with the new move to all natural
products the next big thing will logically be all natural colognes and perfumes
and we would be two steps ahead of the game. I think that if we were to skip bathing
for a week it would change our personal lives and society as whole. However, I
still haven’t completely changed opinions on the need for daily bathing.
If I skipped a bath at the end of the day I would spend the night in the doghouse. I'll bet the dog would think who let the skunk in? The polar caps melting is filling the oceans with massive amounts of water for bathing so lets take advantage of it.
ReplyDeleteRyan,
ReplyDeleteFinding ten good reasons not to bath for a week might be a stretch. I do like the idea of conserving water but one time I lay in bed pondering how much water there is, are ready for this. I live in Christian County and there is about 564 square miles. We get over 40 inches of rain annually. There is 231 cubic inches in a gallon. So let’s see here, 564 square miles equals 4,014,489,600 square inches times 40 inches deep equals 160,579,584,000 cubic inches divided by the 231 in each gallon gives us about 695,149,714 gallons annually. There are approx. 77,825 folks in Christian County. So with the rain water alone we have about 8,932 gallons each. I have four people in the house so we could use 37,728 gallons and be in our allotment. But we only used about a total of 10,000. So I say we stick with the baths because we also have to remember that every bit of the used water will be evaporated and recycled by the environment anyhow.
