Showers are for Singers The Tub is for Thinkers

Showers clean the skin. A bath cleanses the soul.

Hiero,The king of Syracuse, wanted a golden crown to honor the gods. He weighed a lump of gold and gave it to a goldsmith to make the Crown. The goldsmith returned with a crown that weighed exactly the same as the lump of gold. The king was happy.

But, the king grew suspicious. The goldsmith might have cheated him and substituted some sliver for gold. The king asked Archimedes to find out if he had been cheated without harming the crown.

Archimedes was dumbfounded, until one day when he got into the his tub and some water sloshed out. He had found the answer — density. Archimedes ran naked into the streets shouting "Eureka, Eureka!" Which means I have found it. I have found it.

Socrates must have spent a great deal of time in his tub. His enemies charged him with: corrupting the youth and making people think.

The Oracle declared that Socrates was: "The Wisest Of All Men." Socrates was dumbfounded when he heard this, because he new that he new nothing and was not wise. He must have been setting in his tub one day when -

EUREKA!

He knew the Oracle meant he was wise because he new he was not. He sought out everyone in Athens who had a reputation for being wise and found that they new less then he did, but persisted in maintaining their wisdom. For this affront he was executed.

If you come to the same conclusion while sitting in your tub. It would be wise to maintain a small pretense of wisdom.

The purpose of this Blog will be to pass on what this bird discovers while sitting in his tub. Should you discover while sitting in your tub that you know less then I do about what appears in this Blog. Please respond. That way we may all obtain some wisdom by learning more about how little we know.

From my tub to your tub,

Carl

WORDS FROM THE TUB

Carl Rich: St. George, Utah, United States; Eight grade movie night, hoping for a Western or a Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comedy. The Marquez on the Roxy theater send Hamlet and the poster showed men with swords. A swashbuckler about a village? In I went. At the end everyone was DEAD! HUH!? I watched it again. What was this…? Something! At home, excited I told my mother all about it. “Oh, that’s Shakespeare.” “Who?” “You’ll find out in high school.” It sounded like a punishment. But after, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis seem silly and Westerns were just empty action. Today it is still that “SOMETHING!” ???
