Rocks Probably as Good as Soap
by Bonnie
Wendy Jehanara Tremayne found some rocks and rubbed them all over her skin.
I’m using the rock like soap, washing the entire body with it and getting an enlivening scratch that leaves the skin feeling like it was just dipped in peppermint.
They probably work fine. (Entire body?) Ancient Egyptians cleaned their skin with oil and a metal scraper. Some people somewhere probably take dust baths like chickens. But with this latest entry to the growing files of people who don’t need that stuff we use to clean ourselves, let’s just say it: we don’t need anything that people invented, forget it. Medicine is a scam, candy will kill us, cars are the worst and soap is silly garbage. Just some rocks and a little pile of dirt is fine. Maybe the occasional pretty leaf or shell. A berry.
