I always shower before or after a bath, and leave the hot water trickling in. I can beat entropy, dammit.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do a quick rinse, then have my first, soapy hairwashing bubbley bath.
I drain about half the water, and rinse my hair under the tap as the new, warm water rushes in.
Then, after a nice soak (with occasional warm-ups), I set my book down, use my foot to turn on the shower, and drain the tub while the hot water rushes over me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
A bathtub with some sort of heating element would be luscious. It would also be dangerous, because I don't think I'd ever leave once I got in.

I bath, then I have a shower, to rinse thoroughly. I grew up in a house with a bathtub only, so I always feel cleaner after a bath. But my baths are never terribly long, because I hate the prun-y feeling.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm an every-other-day hair washer so I easily tub half the time.

When I want a bath but I only have time for a shower, a put the plug in during the shower, so at least my feet get a bath. Bathing the feet provides a suprising amount of relaxation...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I can easily spend 5 hours in the tub. I got one of those bath rack thingies for my birthday, so I may be able to last longer nowMy get clean baths are much like PM's (not terribly shocking to me). But for spa day it's bath then shower.

I normally wash my hair in the sink- the current abode has a large sink in the bathroom which is okay for that, and no shower. If it had a shower, I'd wash my hair there.

Geez, I never had enough patience to really fill the tub... all my baths used to be kid baths, where you put a few scant inches in and scrub a lot.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I was going to mention those but thought I'd make my mom sound cheap. 40-gallon baths are strictly entertainment for me, as well as 20-minute showers. Normally I wash face, feet, armpits and groin and get outta there.
