When I worked in an unnamed European country, I had two secretaries who shared the outer office. Sometimes the er, "aromas" wafting in from the outer office bordered on the unbearable. One day the more senior and more corpulent of the two said to me (how the conversation got around to bathing habits I don't remember), "DLFan2, I know Americans bathe more often than most Europeans, but I want you to know that I ALWAYS take a bath EVERY week, EVEN WHEN I DON'T NEED IT." I nearly choked but managed to maintain my composure.

If Americans waste water, let's encourage more waste!!
