Shampoo Problems

Forgive me for not blogging. I’ve been traveling around quite a bit and my laptop’s modem broke. I’m writing this blog right now inside my hotel's business center. The fluorescent lights in here hurt my eyes.

I need to vent. I’m a little upset about the little shampoo bottles inside my hotel’s bathroom. The darn little things aren’t squeezable. I have to stand there in the shower and wait for the shampoo to slowly drain out into my hand. It takes nearly two minutes.

I tried to speed up the process by sticking my pinky finger into the opening of the shampoo bottle, but my finger doesn’t fit. I have stubby little fingers.

It's like waiting for ketchup to come out and not having a French fry to stick in the neck of the bottle to unclog the hole.

Did you try shaking it, your holiness? Or adding a little bit of water from the shower to loosen? You could have blessed the water first, that might have helped.

Many blessings to you, redhead gal. I hadn't even thought of adding water. I'll try that tomorrow morning.

Your holiness, when you are shaking the shampoo bottle like a bottle of heinz ketchup, do you ever hear the faintest sound of carly simon singing "anticipation?"

Those nasty vending machines are going to add more than extra inches to your fingers, your Holiness! Ding dong, the witch is alive!

Most Holy Father,

I'm sure the hotel gift shop would sell larger, squeezable bottles of shampoo should the water thing not work.

Your Servant,

I can not believe that the hotel did not provide the friggin POPE with a real bottle of shampoo!

Did they not know that you can cause a tornado to destroy the building!?!?

What they said.

I would consider bringing my own in the future, Your Holiness. I highly recommend Redken products. I have a friend who owns a hair salon. I'm sure she'd offer to cut your hair as well, but I doubt you'll be in our area any time soon.

You all have fine suggestions. I actually tried redgal's method this morning. And I'm happy to report the shampoo came right out.

I would think that, being the stylin' Escalade driver you are, you would have gone to the bald look by now.

Shave that dome, Holy Father. SHAVE THAT DOME!

Your Holiness, on another subject entirely: My son just started his own blog and I was wondering if you'd take a moment to bless it for him.

Any time you could take out of your important schedule would be appreciated.

Your Holiness,

I can't believe that God expects you to get the job done without providing a decent laptop modem.

Next time I pray, I will pray for an update to all your equipment...or some words to that effect.

anonymous, what did you expect? Discussions on papal decrees? That's the POINT of this blog. Get a sense of humor...

Dear Pope,
Yes, you definitely need a new laptop. And perhaps you should travel with a tube of shampoo, like Prell. That always squeezes right out.

Your Holiness:
Surely the Vatican staff has someone who can fix these techie problems. And a personal hairdresser, too!

In fact, you deserve a whole entourage!!

Look, I wrote those letters about Harry Potter several years ago. I was just jealous that Harry Potter was selling more books than me.

The first thing I usually do upon entering the hotel room is turn the shampoo and conditioner bottles upside down. Then when you need it, the shampoo's already in place.

Keep up the good work, Your Holiness!

new here. This is hysterical. I don't recommend watering it down, either. The shampoo and water don't even mix, so you think you're being really smart, when actually you're just left with a puddle of water and maybe a teeny bit of suds. sorry buddy.
