Back in 1959, I was a 14 year old HS freshman.

First day in PE class, the "coach" told us the rules. First rule was:

No grab-ass in the gym!

Second rule was:

Treat all girls with respect!

Third rule was:

In the shower, make sure you wash your ass and your balls!

Those were the rules. I have followed all three all of my adult life. Maybe Donald Trump should have been in my PE class. He missed the first two rules, and I don't wan't to know if he follows the third one.

1. 3rd one....

Woman here. Isn't that one a given?

[Iggo]

2. Former teenage boy here. Unfortunately, no it's not a given.

[narnian60]

3. Damn.

[MineralMan]

5. "Dude! You reek!"

[Iggo]

6. There were dudes I swear came out of the shower dirtier than they went in.

[MineralMan]

7. Yup. Some guys are just nasty.

At 14, there were still lessons to learn, I guess. "Coach" knows best.

[MineralMan]

4. Apparently not for some boys.

Otherwise, why would "coach" say that?

[JTFrog]

12. Maybe, but I remember a Redd Foxx comedy routine "You got to wash your ass!".

Hard to believe that this advice has to be doled out, roflmao.

8. Lol

maggot lacks both for number 3.

9. I can almost visualize your coach!

[MineralMan]

10. Yup. You've got a good picture of him.

That was his entire knowledge of behavior, etiquette and hygiene rules. He was a man of few word, and probably of few thoughts.

If I remember correctly, the next thing he said was:

"Now, drop and give me 10!"

11. I do not wish to think about...

...any of Trump's body parts.

He is a good argument for celibacy.

13. In the early years of our marriage, my husband had a lot of neck problems.

He had even gone to a doctor and had x-rays that had shown some deterioration. We were worried. And he was in pain.

One day I noticed what he did when he came out of the shower -- he shook his head, hard, to get the water off -- like a dog shaking water off.

I asked him why he did that. His coach had taught them to do that.

Why? Because they only had one little towel each.

We had plenty of towels and I told him he should use them, even for his hair.

Problem solved. But I've often wondered how many of this coach's former students are still violently shaking their heads after a shower and wondering why they have neck problems.

[MineralMan]

14. "Coaches" get lots of things wrong, I think.

My "coach's" three basic rules, though, are pretty good ones to follow, I think. The head-shaking thing, though...not so smart. That "coach" must have slept through some college classes, I think.

15. But how does he dry his .....?
