Good thing : Socks soften the feel of the hard tile floor.

Bad thing : Water soaked pants weigh too much.

Cool thing : When you push your hand along a wet shirt in a downward motion, pressing out most of the water, it looks kinda cool when it “fills up” again.

Interesting thing : When you rinse the shampoo out of your hair the pants funnel all the water through your butt crack.

All in all I give it a 6.

Aside from the obvious question of “WHY?!” I’d just like to say that I’ve also been in the shower fully dressed. I wasn’t there to shampoo or anything as you were: my fully clothed showers were usually a way of sobering up, or the result of thinking I was undressed while my mind was in a disabled state of reason.

No reason. I’ve just never done that before.

Ted: This sounds like something Frye from Futurama would do just to show Leela how to be impulsive. Next try eating cereal and milk off the top of your head without a bowl. Can it really be done? Awaiting report . . .

This sounds like an interesting experiment, but I don;t think I’d ever try it----don’t know what shampoo and stuff will do to your clothes… would have to wear old shop (mechanic) clothes or something–haha…  
anyhow, glad you have fun… 🙂

Were any mind altering substances involved in you decision to go through with this?

Eggs, you get ten points for doing a Futurama take off. If you really want, you could feed your boss to his man eating anteaters, then murder your best friends: Turn one of them into a sporty go-kart, and eat the tastiest one. And stuff another into a clock. Muhahaha.

Pug, its Fry. 🙂

Weird. I tuned into this thread because I thought it was about using condoms…
