Shower Curtains

The first people to have showers were the ancient Greeks. Thanks to their sewerage and aqueduct systems, running water was effectively pumped into and out of communal shower rooms. Yup! “Communal”. Everyone had the right and privilege to bathe in these communal showers. Oh what a difference it would have made if there were shower curtains during that time! Everyone could have had their share of privacy.

I can always install a shower liner. (www.bedandbathandandbeyond.com)
