SOAP MAKES WATER WETTER
I learned early in the job that a hotel bar is not exactly one exciting episode after another but perhaps that realization reached its peak - or maybe nadir is more accurate - when a couple of young executive-type men, watching Brian rinse beer glasses, got into a discussion on whether it was safer to clean dirty dishes with just water than trying to get dish soap off them.
The conversation was especially amusing to me because I’ve heard this from a few other people of the male persuasion. One of the men commented that he was certain he had been chronically ill from eating soap the whole time he lived with a particular woman.
So tell me, is this a basic gender difference? Do all men have a dish-soap phobia?
