i think i need a new shampoo.
first of all. i think they could have could have come up with a better name for something you use to wash your hair... sham poo
in layman's terms: something that is purported to be poo, but is not.
i would argue that this is not a good name. likely that it was invented by the same guy that thought the Chevy Nova had a good enough name to market in latin america... never realizing that 'No va' means... does no go. i'm not even sure what is worse: the fact that it is purported to be poo in the first place? or that it is falsely advertised as poo, when it isnt?
i'm losing you here. i can tell.
but i digress... back to my sham poo and why i need to switch brands: i'm dissatisfied with the product. i believe that it is defective, because it doesn't seem to work.
why? because i see the commercials. i know what it is supposed to look like when you wash your hair. you're supposed to have a huge smile on your face. you're supposed to be standing underneath a showerhead that most definitely is not limited to 2.5 gallons per minute, and you are supposed to lather your head into a rich crown of bubbles as your eyes close, and the water decelerates to slow motion as it effortlessly rinses every remnant of the poo away. it's not supposed to get in your eyes... and you should never have to lather, rinse, and repeat. i mean, have you seen the size of the lather on TV? that should be good enough the first time around.
although, i'd have to say, if taking a shower was really that much fun... i would probably lather all day long.
but it isn't... and i don't... it has to be faulty sham poo.

I definitely think you have a poo prob. Go new poo and say phew!!
2.5 gallons per minute? Huh? Is that a lot or a little? Leave it to you to throw in a little piece of trivia that totally distracts me... What was that part about the poo again? And why is it in your hair?
You'll be happy to know that the word shampoo comes from the Hindu, champo, which means to massage. :)
Regardless of the ersatz poo in your bottle, I hope that 2.5 gallons is A LOT but I have a feeling it is A LITTLE. How many gallons per minute does the average American get in their hot and yummy showers, sometimes twice a day?
i'm not sure where it lies in the legal spectrum, but i'm pretty sure in the US that showerhead manufacturers are required to limit water flow to 2.5 GPM maximum in an effort of reduce unnecessary water wastage. personally, i find it plenty, but it is the whole idea of someone else deciding limits for you that led to me writing about it in such a way.
'the man keeping you down' and all that
Thank you for making me laugh today Paddy!!!
