42 Percent Of Americans Pee In The Shower - 7 Percent Never Bathe
PISCATAWAY, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- Urine trouble now. According to a new survey, at least four out of every 10 Americans pee while taking a shower.
According to a shower survey sponsored by VertiSpa, 42 percent urinate while bathing, certainly pissing off the 58 percent who don't.
That's not the only stat splashed from the shower study. The average shower is 101 degrees Fahrenheit and uses nearly 50 gallons of water.
-- 52 percent of Americans sing in the shower, with "Singin' In The Rain" being the top tune.
-- 53 percent of people shower in the morning, while 29 percent wait until evening.
-- Finally, the scariest stat of all: 7 percent of Americans claim they never bathe at all.

Not many people admit to self gratification, but those that do are hardly a vast minority.

Pee has been used as antiseptic on wounds if I'm not mistaken.

Something is fishy here. Most have no idea of the temperature or number of gallons used and I really doubt that someone that doesn't shower would fill out the survey.

>>Just because YOU pee in the shower does not mean that you are in the vast majority.<<
I believe that is a logical fallacy combo. It is a "red herring" coupled with a Straw man. The two ideas are not related (hence "red herring") and the logical conclusion you attribute was not what was said (straw man).

I just found out the owner of the company got on him about it today. From what I gather, it is not the first time. The guy is not firing on all cylinders, to say the least.

Well, I have never gotton into a hot tub believing that people pee in them. It gets worse. My local YMCA took out their hot tub because the gays kept getting too "handy" with each other while soaking. Makes you think twice about even getting in a hot tub - friend of mine calls them "AIDS wells."

Wow--sure'd like to meet the guy who could do that! I would imagine it could be done, but not without soiling your garments.

Who am I? I'm the spawn of the generation of The Great Society, raised on Jerry Springer and fast food, sex-education courtesy of president #42, and if you have something I want you better give it over or I'll take it the hard way. Salute to a true American...

It's just urine, which is fairly harmless, and I'm standing right over the drain, so down it goes.
That pretty much sums it up...
Not to mention that there's all this shower water washing it all away...
