All About Soap

It's a week of Gratitude posts written by yours Quirky! It's all in honor of one gluttonous upcoming holiday.

I am so grateful for bar soap.

I can't imagine that as little as a century ago, soap was a luxury.

Smelly times, people, smelly times.

Makes me feel like wrinkling up my nose.

So I am grateful for the sweet, scented modern soaps that clean and refresh and help you smell goo-ood.

But soapy goodness does not end there.

Did you know that the type of bar soap you use can identify certain aspects of your personality.

Honest! (Well according to my loony brain.)

Looky, looky.

Dove: You are flighty and fickle. When confronted with a challenge, you wing it. You have no problems being undependable and flaky. You leave without any warning. If arrested, you would definitely be a flight-risk.

Lever 2000: You enjoy bargaining and negotiating with others. You manage to gain the positional advantage in every situation at home and work. You are the master leverager. You can talk your way out of donating to the Salvation Army bucket and actually taking all the money for yourself. Rumor has it that you finagled two grand the last time. Nice work.

Irish Spring: You are hot-wired to be sassy. A bundle of energy is bursting and springing from within you. You would love to surprise others by springing out of a cake. And you enjoy scaring the heebie jeebies out of others whenever you can. It can backfire on you if you suddenly spring onto your spouse while he or she is sleeping. A fight is sure to break-out between the two of you. But your spirited wit and sharp tongue will enable you to hold your own. Plus you tend to have smoke coming out of your nostrils. All that internal energy finding release.

Caress: You are a gentle soul. Very affectionate. You tend to be a touchy, feely person. There's not a face you won't...caress. And you have sweet breath that always gently intoxicates the one you are whispering sweet nothings to. And you always carry extra Certs in your purse or pocket.

Safeguard: You are a cautious person by nature. You plan every step of your life and you will not deter from it without ensuring that proper safeguards are in place. You hire an entourage to accompany you all the time. Detective Benjamin "Bugsy" Spiegel is always available to you when he is... available.

Dial: You are a phone addict. You cannot stop talking on the phone. You enjoy calling 1-800 numbers and anxiously await the option to "talk to a live representative." With your outgoing personality you make others feel accepted and welcomed. Sometimes you get on people's nerves with your constant chattering. (Shh! Please be quiet now.)

Oil of Olay: You are a slimy character. You weasel your way through life and have no remorse. As you slither to and fro, you leave a trail of slime that others have to clean up after you. It's no picnic being around you.

Coast: You are coasting through life, riding on the coattails of others. Hey! Stop trying to kick me off. I like it here. It's... comfy.

Bacon Soap: You are a pig. Sooooooo-ey!

Soap.

It does a body and mind good.

Even a loony mind like mine.

Strangely enough, I'm craving bacon.

Mmm bacon.
