I don’t get on Facebook too often, but, when I do, I like to leave a witty little update about what I’m doing at the moment. That’s what most folks there do, and, as I’m somewhat competitive by nature, I can’t just walk away. If my friend Pete leaves a comment about how he’s longing for the touch of David Lee Roth, for instance, I feel as though I need to counter with something as good or better. So, today, as I was sitting here at the kitchen table, across from my aquarium, reading everyone’s updates on Facebook, I began thinking about how I wouldn’t have to use my feet for hands if I could put an aquarium heater in the tub with me. My back, you see, has been out these past few days, so I’ve been spending quite a bit of time just lying still in the tub, occasionally using my feet to work the faucet and the drain, to exchange cold water for hot. So, I was sitting here thinking about using an aquarium heater to keep the tub warm, when it occurred to me that it would make a nice replacement for the update I had up on Facebook at the moment, which was, “Mark is working on his enemies list.” And here’s what I wrote:
“Mark is wondering if he could put an aquarium heater in his tub so he’d stay warm all night.”
Only problem is, that’s not what I really wrote. What I really wrote was this:
“Mark is wondering if he could put an aquarium heater in his but so he’d stay warm all night.”

I assumed the typo was leaving out the extra “t.” There’s more than one way to get heat on those lower back muscles.
Once again my visiting this site has paid off. This idea, I predict, will make me rich beyond my wildest dreams.
Better than a Squirmy Rooter!
Will you be having a professional installation?
In instances like this, how can a dyslexic person tell whether or not he or she has made a Freudian slip?
Tropical fish, I think, thrive at somewhere between 78F and 85F. I”d freeze in bath water that cold. I doubt aquarium heaters are capable of temperatures much above that level.
I suspect your internal anatomy is more tropical and steamy than that too.
Perhaps a curling iron?
I saw a video once of a school of fish escaping from a Japanese woman. Perhaps it was too hot for them.
I guess that probably would be the most effective way of keeping your core temperature up.
I recommend using a hair drier. But not for the tub.
Umm, I don’t think aquarium warmers are FDA-approved for that purpose.
thanks for making me laugh out loud in the office!
