Relatively frequently, the Bancroft Hall 1st Lt. affords room 3209 the opportunity to train our bodies to better withstand hardship by turning off our hot water. This lets us have cold showers and is amazing. However, this evening, something different happened that I've never had happen before.
I was in the course of my regular shower, just having lathered my head full of herbal essences coconut milk and orchid shampoo and conditioner (that stuff is AMAZING!, it smells great, feels good, AND is light blue (the actual shampoo, not just the bottle)). Now, I sometimes like to get a really good lather going--like in those commercials--and tonight was one of those nights; normally, this is a very good feeling that makes my head feel good when I rinse it out with the warm (sometimes cold) flowing water.
However, tonight, after the lather had built up, the water in the shower stopped flowing. Now, here I was, stuck with no water and a full head of lather. I banged my hands against the walls, my roommate asked what was wrong, and I responded that my water had just stopped. He ran over to see for himself, turned on the water in the sink, and started handing me cupfulls of water from the sink without any prompting. I rinsed myself with said cupfulls, and it worked incredibly well.
HA! Bancroft Hall 1st Lt. gave us a very surprising and very challenging training situation (my plan was to grab a towel and run across the hall (it was about 0030)), that we overcame using Rm. 3209's finely oiled (and shampooed) teamwork machine.
However, now we have no water in the shower, and it recently turns out, no water in the sink (my teeth are unhappy). Train on!

If you ever run across the p-way in a towel you are mashed Potato.
Sometimes, radical steps are necessary. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do (especially when he's got a head full of coconut milk and orchid and no water).
Yes but we're not talking about men here. Men don't use coconut milk and orchid. I don't even use that.
