Scattered Showers
He said: “I’m going to go take a shower.”
She said: “Try not to take it too far. I want to use it later.”
He said: “Okay, I promise I’ll put it back where I found it when I finish.”
She said, “Oh, hey, since you’re taking it out anyway, do you suppose you could put it back with some other tile besides that mustard yellow stuff from 1970?”
He said: “No. If I did that the counter and the linoleum would get jealous.”

Now I will rake my brain why you have to take out your shower and you ask not to go to far ? Is he taking the shower on the street ? We take our shower in the bathroom !

Gattina — Thank you for your priceless comment. You have generated much silliness in the comment section of my blog.
Dictionary.com gives 126 definitions for the word “take” most of them include the phrase “to carry away”. Amoeba did not say he was going to USE the shower. He said he was going to carry it away. I was just concerned he would carry it too far and he has a habit of putting things down and then not being able to find them.
I still not get it, I am sorry, but for me a shower is a shower you take in a bathroom, why does Antony ask where I keep my shower ?? I don’t keep it it’s fixed in the bathroom, lol ! there must be a misunderstanding. According to my dictionary and myself a shower is a flexible tube with a head with holes in it, you stand underneath and the water is running over your body, true ??

Gattina — the word TAKE means to carry away. It is slang when we say “I am going to TAKE a shower. We aren’t really going to carry it away. We are going to use it. The joke is just that I chose to ignore the accepted slang and answered Amoeba seriously.
Ah ! the subtilities of the English slangs ! I am already proud to get along with english ! don’t ask me to learn slang, lol ! I already learned to understand the baby english what the cats speak on their blogs ! Like : “Effery bean in da house but Mommy went out to dig wif da shovels. Mommy maked sumfing called “hot chawklit” and “cawfee” for da beans outside wif da shovels”. Imagine now baby french !

Between you and Amoeba and Gattina, I’m not sure who’s funniest! LOL!

Melli — does it matter as long as we’re all laughing
I’m going to have to agree with Melli on this one. This is a riot and Gatinna just added so much to it LOL
.-= Thom´s last blog ..Guess Whose Back? =-.
Thom — that’s why I love the comments on my blog posts. They are almost always better than the post.
That was unexpected, funny, and NEEDED at this crazy hour. I sit here rambling about the makings of hearts and watching Sweet Home Alabama. 🙂
.-= Rachele´s last blog ..Weak of the Heart! =-.
Rachele – nonsense is almost always on tap at our place. Come on back any time.
Love the logic here, but a question: If Gattina takes her shower in the bathroom, where does she normally keep it?
.-= Anthony North´s last blog ..DAMAGED PLANET =-.
Tony — that’s an excellent question. I hope Gattina comes back to answer it!
I love these conversations you have! LOL

Akelamalu — you miss most of the fun when you don’t read the comments.
Gotta be on your toes to read this blog!
.-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Never Say Never! You Might Win these Giveaways! =-.
Mocha — standing on my toes gets uncomfortable after awhile. Wouldn’t it be better to sit and ponder?
Would you mind bringing it over here, since we don’t have hot water since last night?
😉

Nicole — I’ll call the airlines now, but I’ll need your credit card number to actually purchase the tickets. 😉
Never mind, Nicole, put the card away. We’d never be able to get all those pipes and nozzles through security. Might be fun trying, if we didn’t have to actually get anywhere. And we probably wouldn’t have to worry about our meals being provided for awhile.
Mh, too bad. Maybe I can come on over on my broom stick the next time the shower breaks down 😉
.-= Nicole´s last blog ..View from Aida cliff top =-.
And no attention given the other fixtures. What makes the shower such a star?
Dismal

Nessa — I have already blogged about the bathroom sink. I hope the toilet doesn’t get jealous and throw a fit — or anything else!
So that’s why I had to spend so much of yesterday evening with the plunger .. !
Oh my goodness, this is hilarious! I’m glad that I read your post and the comments while sitting on my chair or I would have fallen over even standing on my toes ;).

Rosidah — yes, one does need to be firmly grounded when visiting my blog, or the hot air here could blow you away!
You guys are so cute 🙂
.-= Jenn@ You know… that blog?´s last blog ..Recording Studio tracks to share! =-.
Jenn — my guy is cute. I am lovely. And modest, too.
If I were learning this language, I’d hate to have either of you as my teacher, but ROFL!
.-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Microfiction Monday #17 =-.
But Susan, I am a second language instructor! My kids learned English fast!
priceless – they don’t teach stuff like that in schools!
one of the great things about a language is its flexibility and i luv it!
(but yeah, way too much info for a less than advanced level)
.-= polona´s last blog ..arches =-.
Actually, Polona, I did teach stuff just like this.
Sounds like the first military housing we lived in!
