Not True...
The Shower
by knowledge
I was in our dark shower. I reached up for the body wash on the inside shower hanger. I didn’t look at the plastic bottled liquid soap that I picked up. I had been working out in the garden and was really dirty. So I slopped the soap into my hand with my eyes closed and began scrubbing my whole body. It didn’t really lather up much so I kept using more and more of the stuff.
As I scrubbed away a funny smell began flowing through the shower steam. I finally realized it was the soap that I was using to wash my body. I hollered to my wife, “Honey, what kind of soap it this?”
She was in the bathroom with me fixing her hair. “What?”
“The soap, what kind is it?”
Suddenly the shower curtain was pushed open, “On no!”
“What?” I said.
My wife began laughing. She was going into hysteria. I started rinsing off. Then I noticed all the hair was coming off of me! It was just washing off in the rinse. The tub was becoming clogged with it. “What’s happening!” I was starting to become hysterical.
“You...you...used...my Nair for body...wash!”
“What!” I screamed. I really began washing it off.
By now my wife was sitting on the toilet with the lid open holding her sides and crying in a total fit of laughter. “I just peed my pants!” she burst into another fit of laughter.
I finally got out of the shower. I looked down and around my body. I looked in the mirror. I had been going slightly bald. Now I was totally bald! I had no hair on my body at all! I looked like a new born baby with no eyebrows!
I took a two week emergency leave from work while my hair grew back. I stayed in the house all the while and we didn’t have company and my wife and kids were threatened with life grounding if they told anyone.
