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
