conservation

[winkle]

saw this on tv

back in the old west there were folks that sold hot baths

first one in the tub paid a dollar

next one paid fifty cents

next one paid twenty five cents

everyone else paid ten cents

this would be good for water conservation

also would be good for population control

people would kill each other trying to be the first one in the tub

The family plan was as follows;

First one in was the Father/husband, in later years he also was known as the "bathtub ring Leader" next was the wife, then each child by oldest first to the youngest.

Thence was born the adage "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water"

Why not go back to medieval times when even taking one bath a year was considered excessive...?

I took a bath once but couldn't understand what the point was. When I got out and saw that muddy water I wondered how is this supposed to get someone clean.
