My showers aren't really that long...it's about 45 minutes, maybe 30 if I'm in a rush. Most of the time I kind of just stand there while the water hits my face; very relaxing if you ask me.

But they have cool driving shoes in there too. I have a hard enough time shaving in the morning, forget about makeup and my hairdo consists of a do it yourself cut. Having no hair on top does have at least one advantage.

How are 30 to 45 minute showers "not that long"? What would constitute a "long" shower to you? How big is the tank in your water heater? Or are these cold showers? Maybe one of these Euro showers with the 13 shower heads hitting you at all angles would be to your liking. Except I'd see if you can get a "water recycling" option cuz it's obvious you aren't actually showering off dirt/grunge/sweat for 45 frickin' minutes. Holy crap, 45 minutes after I'm out of bed I'm showered, shaved, teeth brushed and 20 miles from home with a coffee in my hand.

During the course of one year, 45 minute showers consume over 288 hours.

How to Shower Like a Woman

Mercedesshop secret Santa-images.jpg



Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks.
Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see husband along the way,cover up any exposed areas.
Look at your womanly physique in the mirror - make mental note to do more sit-ups.
Get in the shower. Use face cloth, arm cloth, leg cloth, long loofah, wide loofah, and pumice stone.
Wash your hair once with cucumber and sage shampoo with 43 added vitamins.
Wash your hair again to make sure it's clean.
Condition your hair with grapefruit mint conditioner enhanced with natural avocado oil. Leave on hair for 15 minutes.
Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for 10 minutes until red.
Wash entire rest of body with ginger nut and jaffa cake body wash.
Rinse conditioner off hair.
Shave armpits and legs
Turn off shower
Squeegee off all wet surfaces in shower. Spray mold spots with Tilex.
Get out of shower. Dry with towel the size of a small country. Wrap hair in super absorbent towel.
Check entire body for zits, tweeze hairs.
Return to bedroom wearing long dressing gown and towel on head.
If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas


How To Shower Like a Man


Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in a pile.
Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see wife along the way, shake wiener at her making the 'woo-woo' sound.
Look at your manly physique in the mirror. Admire the size of your wiener and scratch your ass.
Get in the shower.
Wash your face
Wash your armpits
Blow your nose in your hands and let the water rinse them off.
Make fart noises (real or artificial) and laugh at how loud they sound in the shower.
Spend majority of time washing privates and surrounding area.
Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs stuck on the soap.
Shampoo your hair.
Make a Shampoo Mohawk.
Pee.
Rinse off and get out of shower.
Partially dry off. Fail to notice water on floor because curtain was hanging out of tub the whole time.
Admire wiener size in mirror again.
Leave shower curtain open, wet mat on floor, light and fan on.
Return to bedroom with towel around your waist. If you pass wife, pull off towel, shake wiener at her and make the 'woo-woo' sound again.
Throw wet towel on floor

The ladies truly do love a well groomed man. I don't go overboard but I do take care of myself which includes meticulous hygiene.
Funny, I've gotten more action in the month since I started growing a beard than I had in about 4 months prior combined...

I'd start shutting off the hot water after about the first 15 minutes max. Right at the water heater, bammo. Or the main supply at the house inlet. "HEY CNN says the earth just ran out of fresh water!!!"
