The way I remember, and it does go back a while, is a woman had heard about something happening at an airport where her husband was coming or going. Everyone was offering sympathy, trying to get up dates and were generally concerned, when the woman suddenly announces she has to go take a shower. She then comes back a few minutes later and asked for updates.
A lot of people wondered how she could go take a shower when her husband was possibly in trouble.
Hence, when some breaking news occurs someone will inevitable have to go take a shower.
I remember that! It was so strange, it was funny....

Going back in some older threads looking for something I saw your post
That is not what happened. I’m in the Lexicon as the starter of the shower posts and to this day, though the thread is still there for people to see, it gets spread wrong.
I had just got OUT of the shower (should never had mentioned that) when I heard there was a terror problem at an airport my husband was set to fly out of that day. I only caught the very end of the Fox News Alert report and asked on here for an update on what was going on. Some people on the thread twisted what I had said and it took off from there.
Anyone who knows me and how much I love my husband, Rafterman on FR, knows I’d never get worried about him and go off to do something like that.
After all these years I got to admit it still bugs me how far removed from reality that one post was taken and how it’s still spread around to this day.
I’d pay good money to get taken out of the Lexicon for that and for those to stop spreading the false story, but it’s Freeper lore now and not much I can do about it.
