GUY’S CORNER
“Water + Soap = done!” by Dr.Ajay Hotchandani
The debates about the differences between men and women have been around as long as men, women and corrupt politicians have existed…eternity. Just about every aspect of life one can find a way to argue which of the two sexes are superior and why; medicine, law, parenting, cooking, telling jokes. Then there are those where it’s clearly obvious that women and men are different and they not only embrace these differences but proclaim it to be the appropriate response or action. In a conversation regarding work, several of us started talking about the dreaded task of waking up in the morning (both parties equally agreed that neither are fond of it), however it got interesting when I discovered a co-worker gets up an hour earlier than I do so she can get ready for work. I always knew women (usually) take longer to get ready than men so this wasn’t too big of a surprise. What was surprising was when she heard that I often get out of bed at 7:30 and at work before 8:00, and this included a shower. “No way you shower in the morning?” she stated. I realized why she would come to this conclusion (no, I don’t smell). So I broke it down for her. A guy’s shower should have two things – soap and shampoo. Anything more than that and he might lose his Man Card. If you got toothpaste and shaving equipment there, that’s fine, but other than that, a man doesn’t need anything else. So showering is simple and timely, water + soap + water = done. This includes scrubbing those ‘hard to reach places’. Unless you are obese and need to lift up fat rolls, most places are not that very hard to reach. So that’s it, I really don’t think there is much that really needs to be done. Yes, you can sit under a hot shower, relax while listening to Miley Cyrus, I mean Metallica, and exfoliate your pores, but really, who has time for that these days. After explaining it to her I tried to figure out why she thought 2 minutes was not enough time to take a shower – silly me, trying to figure out women. Then I realized why 2 minutes might seem improbable. According to the United Nations Things You Must Have In Your Bathroom Convention held at Bath & Body Works, a resolution was unanimously passed by the Security Council that each women’s bathroom should have the following item: 2 loufa sponges – 1 must be on a stick for those hard to reach places, 1 shampoo to make your hair curly, 1 shampoo to make your hair straight, 1 shampoo that smells like a fruit that is red in color, 1 conditioner to give your hair volume and definition, 1 body scrub that contains mango and sand (don’t try to taste it, it taste nothing like it smells, trust me), 1 face soap made from cucumber but cost 50 times more than if you just rubbed fresh cucumber on your face, 3 different types of soap, one fruit, one vegetable, one of a purple flower. It is absolutely necessary that you use a minimum of 75% of the products each time you take a bath or else the world’s economy will collapse. After a couple gets married they must make reference to United Nations’ Equal distribution of bathroom space to avoid marital issues that may arise from invasion of space. Just because I have two items does not mean I don’t need that extra space. I may want to use that space to cook noodles while I take a bath or store my collection of mysterious things I’ve peeled off my body. It’s my space and no you cannot put your mango chutney honey face scrub there (it does add flavor to the noodles)!
