The other night, after a harrowing day in the garden I was very tired, getting ready for bed, and was about to put toothpaste on my razor and shave my teeth when I noticed one hand out there with the toothpaste tube in it and the other holding the razor ready to receive a squirt of toothpaste right on the edge of the blade, when my mind went "Waitaminute...what's wrong with this picture, something is wrong with this picture," at which point I realized I hadn't lathered my face, so I put some shaving cream on my toothbrush and proceeded to clear my two-day beard of the residue of dinner, then shaved my teeth and went to bed feeling a lot fresher but with the nagging feeling that I'd forgotten something.
