Five dollars

- I’m sorry, are these the campus public showers?

- Yes.

- I would like to take a shower.

- Yes, five dollars.

- What? Five dollars for a shower?

- Yes.

- But that is way to expensive.

- Yes.

- I mean I paid for the room, would you not give me an discount?

- Yes.

- Really? How much then?

- Five dollars.

- I got an idea.

- Ok?

- I will shower really fast and be out of here in no time! So I won’t keep the shower busy.

- No time limit.

- So what, if I pay you…

- Five dollars.

- Yes, five dollars. If I pay you five dollars I can spend all day long in the showers?

- Yes.

- What about the people from around here?

- They pay. No talking for hours.

- I just think the price is too high.

- Ok.

- What if I want to bring along my girlfriend? Is the price different?

- Yes.

- How much?

- Five dollars.

- For two people?

- Yes.

- But that does not makes sense!

- I no sell sense. I sell shower. Time.

- Do you provide any bathing accessories?

- No bath. Shower.

- I mean shower accessories.

- Yes. Towel and soap.

- And can I keep the  towel and the soup afterwards?

- Yes.

- So for five dollars you will give me infinite time in the showers, a towel and a soap.

- I do not understand. What you mean infinite?

- All day long.

- Ok?

- If I am to pay you five dollars for a damned shower then I sure be staying all day inside just sitting there with the faucet turned on.

- You can stay ten minutes.

- But you told me no time limit.

- Yes. For ten minutes. No limit.

- This is outrage!

- No. Showers. Outrage at bar.

- All right, here is your five dollars.

- Thank you.

- Now what?

- You go and shower.

- Where is the towel and the soap you provide for free?

- Five dollars.
