Trevor had a contest about “why we’re here” recently. It’s too late for my entry, but I can tell you why I’m here.
I’m here for SUV drivers, bodywash users and America’s dependance on foreign oil.
Make no mistake about it, forget WMD, or a third world nation’s stability. If it was for those reasons, why isn’t the United States in Iran or Korea?
So why SUV drivers and bodywash users? SUV drivers is fairly obvious. SUVs are gas guzzlers.
Bodywash users is a little harder to explain, but I’ll try with one word – plastics.
Plastics are made from oil. The proliferation of plastic containers is staggering to me – from soda and water bottles to bodywash bottles. Why change from soap to bodywash? Is soap really that harsh on skin? It worked for hundreds of years. Why change? I live with three other guys, soldiers, in a trailer and they all use bodywash! What? Soldiers even use bodywash? We’re in Iraq for crying out load. Skin needs to be soft to impress the girls over here? Hardly. These guys use it though, and I don’t really understand it. I didn’t even have room in the shower to place my re-usuable, plasitic soapdish. I’ve been coerced by these guys to use bodywash.
It’s really quite nice, though, I must say, but I feel kinda quilty going through these plastic bodywash bottles.
BTW, send more bodywash to Trevor, we’re running low.
