Bathing ??
Now that would take a couple of truckloads of Ballenas.:saint::no::biggrin:

Definitely would need outside help.

Some areas of China follow the practice of drinking a glass of their own urine once a day. They believe it leads to a longer and healthier life.

I guess I would just have to settle for a short life then...

What's disgusting about that? Put a little J & B in it and you have Dennis's favorite drink.

It's on the drink menu at Sharkey's.

Bathe in urine? No way. That's disgusting although I do use it in my steam iron for my various Sharkys outfits. It guarantees me a seat at the bar and lots of room on either side for newspapers and other stuff.

J&B? nope. Not for me. Scotch is an aquired taste I never learned to appreciate. Everything else sounds yummy though. Who's buying?

He wouldn't have to go far afield to pull that off. There are numerous "canteens" rolling around the Gigante parking lot at all times.

I am really surprised that all of you are making fun of this guy--- I think it's great to know that next time I'm in the plains of Africa or the Gigante parking lot I won't die from thirst!

All of those so called reality shows, are far from reality. The only reson for their existance is to allow, filming without script writers, actors and all that other costly stuff that makes for good programing. I don't watch any of it it's all fake.

Urine;

Prior to the advent of modern laboratory procedures it was common for the attending doctor to place a drop of urine on the tip of his finger and smell and if necessary taste it to determine sweetness which would indicate a diabetic condition of the patient. Things have changed...

It is an accepted survivor procedure to bathe in urine to replace the loss of body fluids via sensible(sweating etc) or insensible (respiratory etc) loss.

In extreme cases it is a necessity in order to survive the loss of body fluids by drinking urine It has been done many times and the people survived.

It is a common practice among the natives of Africa to bathe and drink urine of humans and cattle to replace sensible and insensible loss of fluids.

It is (was) taught in USAF officer Evasion and Survival school, but not (to my knowledge) practiced
