Ranma.  Why, before they go to take a shower or bath, do they keep 
dumping a bucket of cold water on themselves?  I mean, when I clean, I 
just step into a hot shower... why freeze first?

	Well, with Japanese baths, normally one soaps up and rinses off
*before* getting into the tub, since the whole family shares the same hot water.
