[Value Of Pi]

I've just always assumed that all men do.

And that assumption would be WRONG. Jerry doesn't, Kramer doesn't, I don't. Mind you, Kramer had a special reason: he washed vegetables and made salad in the shower.

[Value Of Pi]

Remind me to never share a shower again and always take the shower first 

I just want to assure you that I'm safe for sharing. I would never do such a horrible, disgusting thing.

It's pee...and if you hadn't noticed that's water spraying it all down the drain. Nice and safe for your precious feet  :

People are conditioned. Think about it.  You swallow your spit all day long. You spit in your coffee cup, and you want to wash it out with bleach.

I'm already crazy enough. I don't need any extra crazy, thanks.

This reminds me of the ancient debate:  if your hands are filthy and your only bar of soap falls in the toilet, do you take it out and wash your hands with it?  I. e. is soap intrinsically clean?

This thread has really gone down the toilet   

[Jackstar]

I'm unfamiliar with the dangers posed by urine, besides asparagus. Are you telling me, that after I stick my tongue down a woman's throat and up her vaginal canal, I might catch something from her piss splashing on my feet?

Why would I shower with someone if I'm not doing that? Weird. I don't get this yet.

Tell this to all the sanitation engineers trying to bring toilets to India. Why not just take a crap in the shower? You've got a drain and plenty of water, right?

Hey, are you really an MD?

[Jackstar]

Why not just take a crap in the shower?

There are practical considerations to putting oranges in the apple barrel. That's just physics.

I only pee in the shower. Poo is too messy and hard to flush down such a small drain. You really think the shower has a special drain? The water from your toilet and your shower both go to the same place. I'm sure the sanitation engineers in India are aware of that  :

Remember how I said to you something about a lack of shared, core values and such? Well, here we go again.

He's been my go to MD for weeks now. Best MD that Bellgab has to offer. He's Dr. MD MD!

How ancient is the concept of soap in a bar anyways?

Aw...gosh...gee...I feel all squishy inside.

Thanks, Big C!

So would I be a faithless heathen if I washed that bar of soap with some clean soap before washing my hands with it?

Around 2500 BC ancient.

Got you, "It's all pipes." Toilets, showers, what's the difference? Just the size of the drain. So what do you do when you're staying in someone else's house? Proceed as usual without saying anything? Ask for permission to do your thing? Change your habits temporarily?

That's right - the "doctor's doctor" from Maryland ;

Much more ancient than a toilet.

ever wander down to the basement and look at the pipes coming down from the washroom area?  Sadly, most home builders failed to see the wisdom in this idea and the pipes coming from the shower drain are woefully inadequate for carrying solid waste.  Fortunately, they were designed to carry liquids.

I come back here and its like the same thing that happens when video surfing on youtube. You start off watching something somewhat normal and the next thing you know your watching videos of pooping dogs, and folks ramming random things up their noses and lighting their hair on fire. And you ask "How did I get here?"

Worse.  Your belief that some other clean soap exists makes you a heretic.  Burn!

I may use the toilet rather than the shower (I'm really not that big into the environment that I mind "wasting" the 1.6 gallon flush), but it really is all the same.  My pipe to the shower is 5 feet long and enters the main stack directly above the 5 foot long run of pipe from the toilet.  I would guess that more than one person has used my shower as a toilet, but I cannot be bothered to care.

On that note... Dr... Mr. MD.  Can you tell me, what's ailing me?

I've obviously hit upon a touchy issue for you. I'm sorry you're so weirded out by bodily fluids but I don't have that luxury. It's what we're made of. Anyway, I'm sure I'll never meet you or be a guest in your house so no need to worry, you can turn the alarm bells off now.

At least you seem to recognize why other people wouldn't appreciate your peeing in their showers and would respect their feelings and practices. Jackstar doesn't even seem to understand why there would be any fuss.

You can drink from the toilet you know, just don't drink from the part your dog drinks from. Hint: The tube on the valve stem in the back. Learned this when the sinks on exterior walls all froze, but the toilet still filled, so I had a light bulb moment.
