The Kahuna-Gordon Messages - Part 21: The Order of the Bath

PANADURA, Sri Lanka -- Having a shower used to be a simple, perhaps even pedestrian activity that required no prior approval. Enter Kahuna and Professor Gordon, and we end up with an impromptu discussion about wave dynamics:

Kahuna (K): I will now take a bath.
Gordon (G): Approved.
K: You don't have approval rights for this activity X-(
G: Oh?
K: You've not been inducted into the Order of the Bath.
G: And you have?
K: You're trying to make waves again X-(
G: Would you prefer a ripple?
K: It's high time I squashed your amplitude X-(
G: To what gain?
K: I'm more interested in your loss.
G: You're trying to create total harmonic distortion?
K: Modulation will get you nowhere X-(
G: You're out of phase X-(
K: Better to be out of phase than to be high-frequency noise.
G: You're crackling now.
K: Nonsense, you're clearly out of tune.

The bickering was adjourned at that point and Kahuna finally absconded for His bath. Incidentally, Gordon is once thought to have discovered a thermocline in his bathtub. Details remain murky and it is not known if his rubber ducky was party to the proceedings. On that colorful note, we close for tonight.

There is only one street in Panadura ... and apparently they still live in trees ... so at least you can escape the mud on the street by swinging from tree to tree :D .. hehe ...

So, we find you prowling here as expected. Typical! Who removed the Beware of Teddy signs? X-(
