Here is a travel tip for you. Rather than purchasing a travel size bar of soap when you leave town, just cut up one you have at home. You will first need to warm up each side of the bar of soap in a microwave for 5-10 seconds to soften it and make it easier to cut. For thinner bars, utilize a paring knife. For bigger pieces, use a chef's knife. Other alternatives include using a hot knife, serrated bread knife, dental floss, or nylon line. Set the bar on a flat, secure surface and hold it in place. Make slow, parallel cuts through the soap to avoid it crumbling. This newly cut bar of soap will fit within your selected storage container. Avoid using plastic bags as this can lead to the soap turning sticky. Use a soap case, scrubbing towel, or a travel EZ-pouch instead. Happy traveling!
Now, it’s time to enjoy some hilarity with the joke of the day. It’s called “Escape to Paradise (Subject to Budget Approval).”
Ernesto, an accountant, suffers from insomnia. One night, his wife suggested She’d guide him through a relaxation technique. Lying with his eyes closed, she described a calming scene.
“We’re in a beautiful bungalow on a tropical island. The French doors are slightly open, allowing for a gentle breeze to flow throughout the eco-friendly residence and onto our private beach. As you take a deep breath of fresh air…”
Ernesto startled her by interrupting:
“OK. OK. Just tell me how much this vacation is costing us up to this point. Because I won’t be able to fall asleep if this excursion is going to completely empty our savings account.”
?!
