Ma drenches herself in perfume, but that skanky smell ramains!With Burl using the facilities, Joy buys Tidy Bowl in 5 gallon drums.And the Doctor can’t help.
And whenever Burl enters the room, it’s just a blast, period.Here’s a question. Why do people call those things “hot water heaters?” If the water is already hot, why heat it? Isn’t it actually just a “water heater?”
That’s what the ads call them, and the stores…..I bet if you Google “hot water heater” the results come up as “water heater.”
“Hot water heater” is just one of those redundancies so common that they sound correct to many people…….like “ATM machine”, which I try not to say, and cringe if I hear myself do it.You guys in Texas probably cringe when you hear “Rio Grande River.”
Hot water specifies what the heater produces and should be hyphenated. Heater implies home interior and a boiler is a system to create hot water for heating and not end user consumption. Block heaters are for cold-weather hard-starting blockheads.
Back in the ’50s, most people did only bathe three times a week – Saturday night, which was when you washed your hair, Tuesday and Thursday. Bathing and washing your hair every day pretty much stopped when you were potty-trained.
That’s true desperation, to use the Penny’s shower. I mean, there’s all that contortion to try to avoid touching anything. Bring your own towel. And bathmat. And soap. Rinse feet in Clorox when you get home. It’s like the Bog of Stench in “Labyrinth.” If you get any on you, you smell like that forever. .And they WILL be calculating the value of the water you used and the cost of heating it. You will be hearing about that the next time they want something from you.
