Shower Surprise

Shower Surprise

As I was waking up, I stumbled into the bathroom and turned on the shower. As I pulled the shower curtain to the side, Eminem surprised me. Yes, 'the' Eminem was staring back at me..... in 20 x 24 poster format. I quickly grabbed him (it) out of the shower and wiped it down with a towel setting it aside for my roomate. I hadn't realize she was a big Eminem fan. Apparently, she had got the poster from her sister and stuck it into the shower to surprise me. Definately, something I wouldn't typically expect. Glad I didn't try any kung fu moves or I might have slipped and knocked myself unconcious on the commode!

So... that got me thinking.... I wonder how many people do shower in the morning vs. in the evening. So I Googled it to find out that they don't have any hard fast statistics, but it seems to be dependent upon culture and schedules. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=6314

In Thailand, it appears to be taboo for women to bathe at night, but the majority of the answers seemed to have more people bathing at night then in the morning. When I was in Mali, Africa, the Bambra people bathed in the morning and the evening. It was taboo to let anyone see you before you had bathed. Of course, they also thought if you used soap you couldn't become rich. So the quality or definition of bath/shower may be different as well.
