With the crackle of ebony shower curtains, you ungracefully emerge steaming from taking a hot shower, also pretending you're the Wolverine from X-Men emerging from an experiment tank. Upon drying off your hair, you wrap the towel around your waist area/privates, and rummage the cupboard about for your tooth brush.
You pause for a moment as you apply the toothpaste—
"Hey, little penguin guy—?" You yell backward into the bedroom, "Is it hygienic to brush your teeth before or after a shower?"
"What-?" A raspy old man voice yells out behind the bathroom door, "How the hell am I supposed to know?"
"Well, do you brush your teeth before or after a shower?"
"I'm a penguin."
"Yeah, but you have full access to the same hygiene facilities I do, obviously you retain the same mental capabilities required for self maintenance- okay, put yourself in my shoes. What would you do?"
"Why don't you put yourself in my shoes instead, smart guy? It's not easy to imagine yourself as a whole 'nother bipedal creature, let alone an apex predator."
"I would still brush my teeth as a penguin."
"Okay fine."
"So answer my question."
"Why don't you brush 'during' the shower?"
"…"
Right, okay, that makes way more sense. Not only do you save time and energy and resources, but if you do get toothpaste on your person, you could just wash it off easier. You know, it's times like this you're thankful you have a roommate, other perspectives on life really do make a difference in the day-to-day life of contemporary men.
"Thank you, you just blew my face away."
