Foamy Dead Skin

I was picking at the dead skin on my toes, and I noticed that I have tarballs all over the soles of my feet. This led me to realize that I never wash my feet in the shower. Actually, I don't really pay attention to anything below my knees. I wonder if I'm alone in this.

Something else I've always wondered is how some people take showers with a single bar of soap, and nothing to scrub themselves with. Don't they need something to remove dirt other than the surface oil? I'm not talking about those soft, bunched up, flower-looking ones - those are weaksauce. I need those 2 foot long nylon towels that are rough enough to scrub pots and pans with. They're like a buck-fifty at your local asian grocery.

When I'm staying at a hotel and am consequently forced to shower with nothing but a bar of (tiny) soap, I get friggin' frustrated because I don't feel clean. Taking a shower and not being able to watch all that foamy dead skin swirl into the drain makes me feel cheated. Like that one time my sister spent half an hour lining up dominoes and I held her down and knocked them all over. Wait - actually that felt pretty damn good.

Nevermind.
