Is That.......? Uh... Never Mind

It's because I love the earth.


I have a habit of shaking my hands rather enthusiastically after I wash to try to get the water off... I use fewer paper towels that way. The problem is that, in summer when I'm wearing light dress pants ("trousers" for those in the UK), those water drops that go flying everywhere make spots on my pants. And those spots really show up.

Really, really show up.

And, as a result, every time I walk out of the bathroom, it looks very much like I've urinated on myself. But I've been doing better on containing that the last couple of weeks, and I'm pretty proud of that.

I think that perhaps now I'm ready to consider that career in politics that I had been putting off.

Oh, my Darryl. How do you come up with these things? I'm proud of you for going through this thought process, and figuring out how to improve yourself - but do you have to tell the whole world about it? (chuckle, chuckle, chuckle...) I love you!

Doesn't everybody think about this?

Hmmmm.


In any case, you don't have to worry. I don't think people will notice this one - it's pretty short and no pictures.

The absence of pictures is appreciated actually.

Your mom would be proud.

I was JUST having a little discussion with some male friends about this very topic...

Not only do your trousers and your adoring public thank you... but so do women who have to share that WC or the kitchen with you.

Names won't be mentioned to protect the guilty, but I had a particular ex who splattered water all over the counter and the floor every time he turned on a faucet. If I wanted to set anything down, I had to take a towel first and dry the counter off...and then there was the floor... stepping sock-footed into puddles... It was like following a dog who had just shaken himself off. With big jowls and long hair.

Man, that felt good to vent about.
