soap and hoverboards

I’ve always been a “body wash guy”, but due to monetary restrictions I’ve had to buy bar soap for the shower. The transition from liquid soap to solid soap has been surprisingly difficult for me, as I’ve found it nearly impossible to clean myself without accidentally throwing my bar of soap all over the bathroom. On average I drop the soap about 10 times per shower. If I ever go to prison, I’m screwed (pun absolutely intended).


About a week ago I dropped my soap at such an unintentionally perfect angle that it slid down the side of the tub, back up the other side, and went flying across my bathroom. The weird thing is, once it left the tub it just kind of disappeared! I’ve been looking for this bar for over a week and it is nowhere to be found! I checked the trash, behind the toilet, I even looked to see if it was stuck on the ceiling. I find it hard to accept that there is some sort of kleptomaniacal soap portal in my bathroom, but at this point it is the most logical explanation as to where it went. Maybe Back To The Future time travel rules apply to soap, and when my bar hit a specific speed it traveled in time. The Doc’s epiphany did occur after slipping and falling in a bathroom. Perhaps slippery linoleum is the key to cracking the mystery of time travel. If that is the case and Back To The Future theories are real, then I want a damn hoverboard!


Seriously though, soap can’t just disappear. This is annoying and I can’t afford replacing my soap every time it leaves this dimension or travels in time! I also seriously want a hoverboard.
