Daily Showering Tip (3/9/05)...

Bathing presents many dangers to the elderly. There is the danger of slipping on wet surfaces and fracturing brittle bones. There is the risk of scolding due to a slower response in adjusting water temperature. There is even a risk of drowning. Because of all of these clear and present dangers, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), along with Modern Maturity magazine, recommend that the elderly simply not bathe. So please join me in supporting our unbelievably stinky elderly and accepting them into society.
