Aug 30 2007Portable Battery Operated Shower
If you're anything like me you don't shower because your natural pheromones attract the ladies like rare earth magnets. But if you prefer to smell like soap, then this Coleman product allows you to cleanse yourself anywhere you want. It's a battery operated shower that runs off four D batteries (and costs $27). The tank holds around 5 gallons and you will look really dumb using it like the guy in the picture who is hopefully about to get hit by a car. Or if you don't want to buy this thing you can do what I do, which is steal the elderly neighbor's garden hose. And electricity. And car sometimes.
One more picture of the product after the jump.

is the water heated? that would be sweet. i can think of a few million people who could use one of these things (read: the homeless).

haha homeless people jokes, wow, those never get tiring! Homeless people are so much fun to make jokes about! hahah! Stupid poor people deserve to be smelly and hungry! At least my parents had enough sense to make some money for my trust fund BEFORE I was born!

whatever drzd. homeless people deserve a nice clean shower once and awhile. but i guess they don't really have 27 bucks for the system. or any water to fill it with. or soap. but that's why god invented rain!

How about giving homeless people the dignity of a shower in, o I don't know, let's say, a home?

#5 that sounds good, give me your address and I'll have them start queuing up

As much as you try to disassociate yourself from reality, homeless people are "us" but for the grace of God, so shut the f*** up and quit being so cool by calling homeless people "them".

F*** god. But yeah you totally got me pegged, f*** pronouns they are super belittling
oh f*** I used the word me, I totally belittled myself
F*** I used 'I' and I just did it again. I AM NOT A PRONOUN I AM A FREE MAN

I have a better idea- raise the water supply (tree, shelf, whatever..) and let GRAVITY do the work. Better pressure and NO batteries!

drzd, are you homeless? well, if you are, get off the damn computer and get a job. just kidding. we all know there's no such thing as homeless people.

Let's all feed the homeless........to other homeless people.

wasn't this in Jeremy Clarkson's car in the US episode of Top Gear where they almost get killed by rednecks?

Oh Shit Manuel Gonzales, I can't believe I didn't think of that. Really that dude is squatting down anyways, and you can easily put a valve on the showerhead so you could do this (probably with more water pressure) without electricity so long as you have, like what, 3 1/2 feet?

are they going to sell the "golden" version of this as well?

Joel Rifkin,
I created HELL for people like you. You are a waste of space
and taking in oxygen that I made for smart and noble people.
I know that your a a desendant of HITLER. You are a piece of shit.
An ASSHOLE and everything that is vile on this earth YOU came
from. How about feeding and helping the homeless you piece
of shit.

Why battery operated? How about just a tank that you set up high, and let gravity power it?

COULD ANYONE EXPLAIN HOW WILL GRAVITY MAKE IT WORK?
