They're called Scotch Showers... yoose run outside into the sun with
your bar of soap and shower real quick so you don't need to pay for

Do you know how Scotch Tape got its name, it was invented by a
Scotsman, he was so cheap he originally only placed adhesive on the
edges... shortly thereafter adhesive was placed over the entire
surface but the name Scotch Tape stuck!
