Today is election day in the US, so naturally with all sorts of hot topics to talk about today, I chose to complain about soap. Yup, soap. My wife bought some "deluxe" soap, which may, or may not, be nice soap. I'll never know since it's just too big to handle. This stuff has the mass of 4 or 5 bars of normal soap, and it's in the shape of a football. Maybe it's easy to hold when it's new, and dry, and in a plastic wrapper. But when it's wet and soapy (did I mention that it's soap?) it's impossible to hold with just one hand. This is definitely not soap that you want to take to prison with you. The only way to not drop it is to use both hands, which is okay if you only want to wash the front of your body. But my body has a backside to it, and I can't reach many places on the backside of my body with both hands. To make matters worse, since I don't use it much, it never shrinks, so it never gets any easier to handle. A soapy catch-22.
