The Soap

Aaah, the soap. It's been a while since an instrument of cleanliness has caused so many dirty jokes.

As I've mentioned before, there's a shared bathroom on every floor at the nunnery . And in every bathroom there's a sink. And above every sink there's this tubular-shaped chunk of yellow soap attached to the wall by some bizarre metal...ummm...soap-attachey thing.

To actually use the soap, some very unfortunate and obscene hand motions need to be performed. No one said anything at first, but after a couple of days it must have reached the cliched tipping point, because everyone started talking about it during dinner.

Turns out, a bunch of the Auburn University co-eds were really offended and were refusing to wash their hands in the bathrooms (southern girls can be so delicate sometimes), ). The other residents, however, are either amused, or pretend not to know what everyone else is talking about. Even when jokes about nuns washing their mouths out with the soap come up. That one from another Auburn girl (southern girls can be so raunchy sometimes).
