Yes,  I should have recognized this woman's actions for what they
are:  religious ritualism.  And (as for what MB was saying), it's not
like she *rinses* them out.  They get *washed*.  With soap.

I say the Earth already has too damn much water, some 3/4 of the

converted into more men, women, and children.  And other living
things.
