Shave?

About once every two weeks I get out the clippers so I don’t get looking too shaggy, but what is this “shave” you speak of?

Forty five years ago. Not.

My last shower was last night. That will the correct answer almost always, the main exception being in very hot weather when I also shower before dinner. Also when I come out of the ocean, I usually shower.

I now have this image of a [frail, white-haired man in a wheelchair](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hari_Seldon) emerging from the ocean [in a bikini](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_Andress), standing on an [impossibly large shell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_Venus_%28Botticelli%29), with a shower attached to his head.

It’s definitely an arresting image. Don’t ask; my imagination is being fuelled by large amounts of coffee today.

Interesting results, though; clear majority for the sink, with shower coming in a respectable second.
