Loved this one about the notorious tub. I did used to love a nice hot bath on a cold winter's night but the quick shower anymore does the trick as well. It's always such a pleasure to see what history you know so much about and share. Thank you
"Mencken admitted that none of it was true. He had written the essay as a “jocosity” to distract readers from the grim news of the Great War. " Menken had quite the visual and wild imagination.
Another gem from Jack. Thanks for the diversion.

Thank you for
Oh Jack, so funny and so absurd. An especially good article for me, a claw foot tub enthusiast.
That's it, no more bubble baths for me!
Just saying "phthisic" can get you in trouble.
