I was sharing a bath with Hildegart Rodriguez Carballeira

She was the most intelligent girl in Spain

We will be crossing the equator in three hours

What shall we do?

The usual I will chase you and the other crew members around the boat with shaving foam and we will fight with olive oil

And after?

We will all jump into the sea naked

But what about the brandy?

It is the only alcohol we have left on board

And yes we will offer the sea a share of our brandy

Do you know what I am going to do?

Tell me

I am going to do nothing

Feral Feather Flowers White

What did you say?

Feral Feather Flowers White

What does that mean?

Nothing

Such as Esso Red and Esso White

Exactly

Why are we sharing this bath?

To save water

Water is scarce in the summer

We have achieved our objective

It was an abstract objective

How do you know that we have saved water?

Because if we took baths separately we would use twice the amount of water

That would be true if there was enough water for two baths

Please would you get out of the bath for a moment

Hildegart Rodriguez Carballeira climbed out of our bath and stood by the door

I am in the bath alone do you agree?

Yes

Then am I saving water?

Yes

Why?

Because up to a few seconds ago I was sharing it with you

Please return to the bath

Hildegart Rodriguez Carballeira returned to the bath

We have not saved water you know

Why do you say that?

Because of the wasted water on the floor

Feral Feather Flowers White

Do you disagree with me?

Esso Red and Esso White

My vacancy is my argument
