Rather profitable. Casual observation at my house shows that females use 2.5X the amount of toilet paper and hot water that males use.

You obviously haven't shared as house with teenage boys lately. Why do they take such long showers?

You're right. My family has a, "Not more than one male per Generation" rule. It's been that way for 4 generations that I know of.

I come from a family of, "what is a sister, daddy?" As Mom pulls here hair out and screams.

I know!! What is with that??? I have a 17 year old grandson that goes into the bathroom and will stay for an hour!!

 

Why do they take such long showers?

I don't know, and I was a teenage boy about 50 years ago. I could do a shower and be dressed in 10 minutes! I guess I had better things to do than stand there and marvel at the warm water coming out of a pipe.

 

All the above reminds me of when I split up with the ex.
I said, "The dog loves me more than you do, and I can prove it". .. "Go on then" she replied.
So I shoved them both in the boot of my car and drove round like a lunatic for half an hour. When I opened the boot, guess which one was pleased to see me?!!!!

 

Yea my wife had jealousy issues over why I treated the kitties better than her.

I thought it was pretty obvious. The kitties were always happy to see me and showed their simple forms of appreciation for me when I did things for them plus when one of them got an attitude I could kick them out the door into the snow for a while until they cooled off.

Not once did throwing her out the door into snow ever get her to cool off. If anything it always just made things worse!

It's the sensation of having warm/hot water flowing over their naked bodies.

However, the Japanese mostly take baths in specially designed deep tubs instead of taking long showers. I tried a Japanese tub and once you squeeze in it, you're sitting up yoga style instead of reclining. It's clever example of Archimedes' principle and you can get submerged neck deep with only about 20 gallons (which is less the water used in a 10 minute shower). So when your teenager gets submerged chin deep, the fear of drowning will provide an incentive for him to turn off the water.

Also, it's actually an efficient process because the bather can soak for over an hour and the heat is transferred to the body (which is about 70% water). However, bathing takes a lot of time, so it's done before hitting the sack.

 

So, what does this have to do with my grandson sitting on the crapper for a hour.

If he's sitting on the crapper for an hour, sounds like he has a severe case of constipation!!!

 

It is not constipation, it is something else. If he has to use a public restroom he can't "do it" if someone is in another stall. The kid waits for the stars to line up before he can take a dump.

Sounds like he has a case of "Rectal Shyness" which is similar to "Bladder Shyness".

 

Yea, the doctors don't use the word, "shyness", they use the word, "syndrome" with a lot of descriptive words in front of it.

 

Or it could be the only place he can go to get some piece and quiet.

I know when I was a teen the bathroom was about the only place I could go that gave me some privacy without my parents hounding me about why I wasn't getting something or other done and my little brother wasn't able to apply his latest plan to annoy me by making an ass of himself in one or more of his usual ways.

Now on the Public bathroom thing well I can relate. Up until I was around 10 I had no problem with using public restrooms until one day we were at the mall and I had to go. Life was good and everything was moving just fine until this guy sets up camp in the stall next to me a proceeds to sh!t himself inside out.

Believe me whom ever it was didn't hold back! If you heard noises like that coming from the girls bathroom you would have been sure someone was having a baby in there! I grew up on a farm and was quite used to all the nasty things farm animals can do yet what happened in that stall next to me traumatized me to the core.

After that I was in my 20's before I would use anything but the urinals in a public restroom and even then I was fairly hesitant to go in one unless I knew I couldn't make it home.

I try to avoid public restrooms as much as possible.

What's up with urinating on the walls and floor around the urinals and urinating in the toilets without lifting the lid? Most men are either clueless or simply pigs!

My grandmother was fond of saying that "People are the filthiest things on Earth".

Even animals clean up after defecating on the ground, however I've noticed that some people don't even bother to flush after doing #2.

 

Guys,smartphones which every teen today has can play videos and all of them have internet access and internet can be a "dirty" place.

Although cyberspace is loaded with trojans, worms, and viruses, you can't pick up "low tech" germs from being on line.

However, I heard on the news that some company in Silicon Valley is developing an advanced form of virtual reality that includes smell and taste. Color TV used only three pure colors to produce any color, so I wonder how many pure scents are required to produce any odor and what kind of box would be required to be connected to your USB port?

I don't!

 

I recall in the 1960s, MAD Magazine had an article on a new product called "Smellevision" that was supposed to enhance the viewing experience.

Obviously, no one has successfully invented such a device.
