Mysteries of the Universe


One of them is soap scum--if soap makes you clean, why does it make the shower dirty?

Oh! Oh! I know! Because soap molecules - with help from warm water - get dirt off you by attaching it to themselves. It's kind of a self-sacrificial cleaning relationship, for the soap. Or I don't know, maybe they like being stuck to dirt and going down the Big Drain...

You might be on to something. But why can't they ALL go down the drain instead of leaving a few stragglers behind to stick to the tub and fixtures??
