There was a neighborhood (Catholic) family, the father was, ironically, an OBGYN, and they had a home with 1 full bathroom to be shared by 9 children (It was a large house, believe it or not). The parents of course had a ensuite bath to themselves. One daughter told me that they all had EXACTLY 8 minutes on a schedule to get their showers, etc done...tooth brushing, etc was done in the lavatory downstairs. If you missed your "turn" you had to wait until the end...

"Your plumber, of course, will gladly tell you how much it will cost." Why, of course, and there will never be any issues with "unexpected charges."

Well, lady, when I gave you that there estimate it was based on the premise that the closet you are trying to convert already had pipes running to it. Not only that, but there's a strike at the Speakman factory and unless you wants to wait another six months, it's gonna cost a little extra to get that unit. Also, this electrical here is gonna cost more and I can't do nothin' about that 'cause they got their own union. Yeah, I know the electrician is my cousin, but that don't matter.


I'm afraid to ask what "Once-Used Water" is, but I do know I probably don't want to shower in it.

No, you DO want it - you yourself have the one and only use of it.

It's the Twice-Used Water you want to stay clear of! D:

Ohhhh, okay. I think I get it. It's not like sitting in a tub of your own filth. Gotcha.

Of course, most of the water in the world has been "used" at some point. It's just the residue of whatever it was part of before that's the problem.

Am I the only person in the world that showers before bed? That's a funny ad, though. YES.
