The Urge?
This morning, whilst visiting my one set of grandparents in Oshawa, I found myself in dire need of shampoo for my morning shower. This is a frequent occurence; I often don't bother bringing shampoo with me when I travel. Mainly because my bottle of shampoo is an enormous green 1-litre bottle. And why bother lugging your own shampoo when you can pillage the shampoo bottles of those you're visiting?
Today's shampoo-for-the-pillaging happened to be of the
Herbal Essence brand. I stepped into the shower. I used the shampoo. No trio of large, buffed, cute guys in black shirts & pants appeared to give me a scalp massage. Right now I'm feeling both overwhelmingly relieved and strangely disappointed. All those
Herbal Essence commercials have always made me think that I can summon a trio of guys to do my bidding by simply popping open a cap of shampoo, and their inherent lack of appearance leads me to think that somehow those commercials were misleading.
On the other hand, there's no way all four of us could have fit into that cramped shower stall. Plus, they'd all see me naked. If anyone other than Mel's going to see me naked, they had better pay up. To paraphrase Shinobu Tezuka: "Even a ghost (or in this case, three guys created for a shampoo ad) shouldn't get a free show from me."
Today's Lesson: it is a bad idea to let a Shih-tzu near the television set when a dog show is being shown. Unless, of course, you like not being able to hear anything over the incessant, frenzied barking.
