The only times it would actually be a really bad idea for me to take a bath is after I've been running and it's rainy and muddy. But there is such a good, manly feeling about getting into the shower and actually needing to wash and seeing dirt and mud drip off you.

I always shower though because I never ever have 20 minutes to spare in the morning let alone the hour or so it would take me to mentally prepare myself for leaving the nice, warm bath.
