Yes, and the Henry Higgins from "My Fair Lady,":

Hope that helps, Emil. I do, um, mean it affectionately.

(Hastily) That, too, of course, Scher. "My Fair Lady" is adapted from the Shaw play, Emil.

Hmmm, somehow I don't think he would have approved.

I'm a shower type.
Remember "soap on a rope"? I recall having an Old Spice soap on a rope.
Perhaps book on a rope for the shower people?

Sea salt bath crystals are AWESOME when paired with a delicious mystery.

But I'm sure he would have agreed with this.

After having dropped, soaked and thereby ruined several books, I no longer indulge in this habit ...
and besides: what's the difference between "Yay" and "Aye"???
It's an earnest question

To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.”

I once thought of using soap on a rope because I was fed up with dropping the soap in the shower. But then I saw this advert and wasn't able to go through with it.

I've never heard of soap on a rope, it's got to be a joke. If not I can't believe it was someone's job to stick some soap on a rope. I wonder why they moved to shower gel?
I think it comes down to the amount of enthusiasm one has for reading in the bath. I see "yay" as one of great positivity whereas "aye" sounds to me a sort of take it or leave it, occasional thing.and besides: what's the difference between "Yay" and "Aye"???
I have taken my Kindle in the bath on the last two goes and I've had no problems. You can also get a plastic cover for it as well - for the beach and bath, but it's ten quid. Probably just as well with a plastic see through bag or to proceed with caution.
Loving the Kindle though, much better than paper books.
