You might find a lot of strange things in bathtubs and showers. If kids live in the household, you may find rubber duckies, squirt guns, or even a plastic dinosaur or two.
For a short time, I kept a pet tarantula
in my bathtub.
Back in the late 1970s, my
roommates and I sponsored the First Annual Bathtub Boogie at our bachelor
pad. Guests were required to bring
bottle of wine or booze to attend. We
poured all the contents of the bottles in our bathtub, along with slices of
fruit. Throughout the night, we dipped our
drinks from the strange red brew. At a little
after two in the morning, the police knocked on the door and informed me we
needed to remove our sofa and a couple party guests from the center of the
street.
That’s the stuff legends are
made of. The party proved so legendary,
we never opted to sponsor a second annual bathtub boogie.
Today, you will still find one
strange thing in my shower or bathtub: a rock.
Not just any rock. My rock is the
prairie form of a loofah sponge. It also
serves as a back scratcher. The rock is
perfect—smooth on one side, a bit rough on the other.
Using a rock in any manner of
utility is particularly satisfying for an old rockhound like me. Showering with a rock is incredible.
