Once I was skinny-dipping in a pond that had been stocked with fish. The fish nibbled my toes. Then the realization hit me that I was naked and there were other extremities the fish could nibble on....
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Even if the tub is somewhat comfortable, which is rare, all I get from a bath is 30 seconds of going "Ahhhhh," and then I'm bored out of my mind. And I get 20 seconds of "Ahhh" from a hot shower, so baths seem like a lot of effort without much payoff..
This is one of the reasons I want to rip my tub out and just put a shower stall in the bathroom.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When my parents built their own cabin two years ago, they had an outdoor shower installed (with a privacy screen) which is just lovely. Unfortunately, the privacy screen was customized for my mother's height, and she's three inches shorter than me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What about squishy sandy bottoms, flea?
I have a spot on my back that fish like to nibble. It's really annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ouch! Your poor mom, Amy!
I like the crusty feeling of having saltwater dry on my body.
Totally. It can get old in transit, if you're in the car/on the train/whatever for a long time before you get to the shower, but it's still nice to feel like you were in the ocean.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I do just have a shower in my master bath. But it`s a ginormous beautiful walk-in shower for accessibility purposes. I loves it, I do. I wish we`d been able to put in the tub I wanted (eta: err, in the guest bath, master bath was never intended to have a tub) but it was one of the rush things.

I quit swimming there the day I saw the skeleton of an alligator gar washed up on the beach.
THAT? lives in THERE? Hells to the N-O.
It may have just died in there.
That doesn't really help, does it?

IT MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED THERE. BY SOMETHING NASTIER.
How can you be an internet/entertainment addict and not know there's a Hawaii 5-0 remake in the works? Where do people spend their time? Sheesh.
