So I was taking a shower the other day and using soap, because I'm clean like that, and I dropped it. My life moves into slow motion as I watch the soap fall out of my hands and accelerate towards the floor of the shower to its certain doom. I scream "Soap!!" because there is nothing else I can do. I watch in horror as soap collides with the floor with a sickening "Squer-plat!!" and breaks into two. I kneel down, cradling the remains of soap in my hands, my tears mixing with the shower water and running over soap, taking soap's remains down the drain to soap heaven. But just then, when life seemed at its darkest hour, I looked up, and there, smiling down at me, was a beacon of hope, shampoo. I was able to make it through the shower and continue on with my life because of the support of shampoo. It also helped that shampoo has a wicked sense of humor and tells awesome jokes.
So, the topic of this thread?
What kind of ordeals have you been through in your life and what helped you get through them?
